Default Nitto Redline tires

I saw these in my new Motor Trend. I looked for them on the internet but all I could find was a Discount Tire ad showing them for sale. They say there is only one size available for them. I couldn't find out what that size is but I'm pretty sure it's below a 17. Does anybody know what size they are? I think they would look good some old school wheels, TT's, 200s, or something similar. What do you guys think?

I believe it's a 255/45 18, but I may have the profile wrong.

I think I'd rock these on my SS if they ever made a 285/40 17, as long it's Z, W or Y-rated. All the Hot Wheels I had growing up had Redlines.

There is a company that can make redlines or redwalls on any tire you want. I don't remember their name but I've seen redline MTs, F1s, 555Rs, etc. Expensive but they look SOOOOO good.

Yeah I already searched a couple of weeks ago, they don't make those in our sizes. Kind of sucks.

I contacted Nitto and the tech told me they would not be making these in regular sizes for our cars. I specifically asked for 275/40-17 and he said no. I really think these would look good on black or silver cars especially w/ TTIIs or ZR1s. Guess I'll never find out though.
