    Nitto NT555

    I went with the Nitto NT555's. Fronts are 255/45-18 and the rears are 265/50-18.

    Here is a shot of the rear tire.

    295 on a stock wheel? I know it has been done but be careful of you are going to use a stock non-widen wheel.

    Is there much difference between the front stock 235/50ZR18 XL size to the 255/45-18 .
    I am still deciding on new tire sizes.

    The 235/50 OEM BFG's are 27.2" in diameter and the Nitto NT555 255/45's are 26.97". I love the look of these tires. The stance is perfect and they are a little wider than the OEM's.

    i'm thinking of going with the same tires.
    Will i have to worry bout traction control going off and the speedometer will not be off?

    Sorry, just saw your post. Here is the local Auto-X site.
    www.mnautox.com

    They run at Valley Fair , Canterbury Downs both in Shakopee and at DCTC (Dakota County Technical College) in Rosemount.

    It's hard to be competitive with a 4000 pound car. I just do it to have fun.
