Im looking into some Nitto 555's. I have 17x8 or 17x9 (im not totally sure) cobra rims. Im just curious if the 285/35ZR18 97W would fit or not. Or would i have to get a little skinnier. If those dont work would the 275/35ZR18 95W, or a 265 or 255 work? I really need to know soon. i got a nail in my tire today, and instead of repairing that, im just getting new ones.

Thanks

Kyle

A 285 will be too wide on an 8" rim, and will be a tight fit to a 9", the widest I'd go is a 275 on a 9"....also it may just be a typo (R18) but I suggest you get R17 tires for 17" wheels

If your looking at drag radials, skip the nittos and go for the BFG's. They are far superior for traction.
