For those of you who might be confused about a 9.5" rim width being too narrow to be safe for the P305/45 R18" drag radial tires that Lidio of Alternative Automotive has had widened for me and for many other members of this board including Dennis Reinhart for track and/or street use, here is the link to the page of the Nitto tire manufacture which clearly shows a tire chart that includes rim width specs. You'll see that the safe and required rim width for the Nitto DRAG RADIAL tires in the P305/45 R18" size that many of us have is 9.5" to 11.5". this is to let the "truth" be known......

...let me also add that I have used the factory Marauder mag wheels that Lidio has had widened for me for over 6 months on my DAILY DRIVEN Marauder with the P305 Nitto tires on them on the street and at the track from 17 PSI to 35 PSI, and I've never had any problems with them.
