Does anyone have a picture of a nitto 555 285/40 18, or any 285/40 18 they can post a picture of?
Just curious to see how it looks on the marauder??

i think they would look too young on our cars.

Not running the sizes you are looking for, but they are the Nitto 555 Extremes and different that OEM.

Front - 255/45/ZR18
Rear - 265/50/ZR18

Thanks for the responses guys! im trying to decide on a front tire size, i widened a set of oem wheels to 18x10 and installed a 1" hub centric spacer.

with the big tires on the back i need to close some of the difference in size, but still keep the raked look

ive also considered a mickey thompson in a 28x12x18, also a nitto 265/50 18 would have been nice but i think the 10" wheels may be too wide for them

Hello, I just replaced the 555's on my 9.5 widened rims. They looked real good but were lousy in the wet. Went for the Conti DW's in a 275 size. They stick better in both dry and wet. Not sure of the size for you 11 inch rims. Are they the stock on's widened ? how did you clear the shocks ? Studs /spacers or longer axle ? Thanks, Stan motoguzzi99@gmail.com

Come on Motown, Nittos NT05 all the way. Well for the rears at least and some 555's for the front. Send me your email and I will give a pocket.

The 18x11s were a breez just added a 1.5" billet hub centric spacer and viola! clear the shocks, and more importantly the lower control arms, im good on tires for the rears as i just added the sticky mickeys work great!

now im deciding on a tire for the fronts (18x10) muuuuhhhaaaa:coolman:

Cant find a 555 i like for the fronts was thinking 285/40s but i think they may end up being too short!(26.9")tall

So im prolly going to go with 28x12x18 mickeys the front will get a 1" spacer(which will also clear the big brake kit im eye balling):banana:
