Default Need something sticky for the 18's
Hey guys. Im going to be installing a converter here soon for my auto and ill need some stickies on the back to help with traction. My only problem is my 18x8 rims. Right now im not feeling like spending the $400 to widen them, maybe further down the road. Right now all im seeing is 265/40/18s BFG drags. Is nitto making any new sizes? Is there any other choice over the BFGs?

hmmm not that I could find. All the others that size that I saw was regular street tires. Those BFG drags will be plenty sticky for sure. I have the 315/17 version.

M/T is coming out with an 18" ET Street. They had one at SEMA this year. I've got a pic of it. I'll see if I can get it to load up. This is what I plan on using.

hahaha i sure hope so, because there i no way a 345 is going to fit an f-body let alone my 8" rim, haha. I wish Nitto would make some 265's, any word of them bringing out new sizes? However those MT's look pretty sweet, maybe they'll have my size! I think id take the BFGs over them however due to this being a daily street driver.
