I have a Moser 12 bolt. It didn't seem to change any ride highth at all. Thanks for the info. According to a wheel size calculator, that particular tire size will throw the speedo off about 3%. Not a big deal really, I just was curios on if you noticed it.

The reason I posted this was I wanted to stay pretty close to something that will keep my Speedo accurate, while getting a wider than 275 tire on my 18X10 inch rear wheels.

The MPH difference is minor in some of these sizes, but I'd like to stay within at least 2% difference.

Here's the calculator I have been using ( http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit ) Just plug in the stock wheel size, which for most would be 245/50ZR16, and then input the size you have. It will calculate the %'s for you and let you know how close it is supposed to be.

I am torn right now between the Nitto 305/35ZR18 or a 285/35ZR18.

How well do those hook up? Just as good as say a Nitto DR of the same size?

No way, DRs are a whole different compound which really only belong on the track as they blow *** in the rain and become ice skates in the winter. The GS-D3s are incredible in the rain, offer good handling, and are stickier than your normal street tire but can't be really compared to DRs as they serve 2 totally different purposes

Okay, well I understand the two are different, I was just asking specifically traction to traction on a dry hot road how they compared to the Nitto DR.
