I have a set of Weldcraft widened wheels.

Do you think I can run 295/45R18 on them?

305's are too expensive :eek:

Yep, I'm running Nitto 555 P295-45/18 on my 9.5" widened rims.
They fit and look great!

(I took off the Nitto 555R P305-45/18 drag radials to be safer in the rain.)

Great!

I really like the Hankooks, good tire for the price. They also handle and wear great.

Hankook's website should have a 'specification' section that will tell you the minimum & maximum rim width for the tire that you've selected.
Probably 9" -> 11" range.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

I also run those Nitto's (New set on the way as we speak!)..... I have a little tire rub on the inside up against the shock, but is not a safety or performance issue, considering I have over 25k on the tires + whatever Dan and Darryl put on them before me.:burnout:
