Do you mean 265/40R18?
I don't see a size in MT ET streets in 265/45R18

Run MT ET Streets (non-radials) 28x11.50x16LT on Cobra R 8" wheels with no tubes - real men don't need no tubes!

Switched from the Nitto NT555R extreme drag radials 305/45R18s because they spun through 60' and could not get traction with them.

Yeah Jake, I think your right, Dom's borrowing them right now therefore no reference. I wanted them short to alter the gear at the track only.

Nitto DR 305/45/18 on 9.5" Kazera rims. Running them tomorrow nite. This is my second set. MT's weren't available when I bought them. They do spin, but if they heat up, they are certainly ahead of the OEM BFGs.

These fit the stock rim without any problems???

Same Here^^^^except on 10" Mustang Bullet Rims--as he said--afterwards then I'll probably go to the MT's

as a side note --last time I ran --My air pump was broke and my tires only had 15# air --they hooked better than ever before----didn't let them get more than 2 more # on the other runs---It was a good day--12.509 with I believe a 1.9 for the 60'...with a new tune and haven't had a change to run since--Would want to run the same a few more times to see if it could get better before making other adjustments --other than the eventual MT's of course---in no hurry--enjoying all it's doing for now---

BTW, with those MT's and pretty much just a stock Trilogy, I run the 60 in mid 1.7's...... I've only spun twice in fifteen runs and it was a release gas and stab it again moment and no more slippy slippy.
