HELP: trying to get the right size tires

HELP ME OUT DTD!!!

OK, I need some help b/c I cant find the answer. I am in the process of trying to find the widest tire I can fit on my newly bought wheels. I got CCW street classics. The fronts are like 18 x 10.5 and the rears are almost 18 x 12. I test fit a 335/30/18 nitto drag radial yesterday and they were perfect. Only problem is, is that a nitto wont work for me b/c I have over 760 rwhp, but plan to take that to over 800 soon. So my question is.....

What is the section width and tread width of the 335 nitto drag radial???

Reason I ask is b/c there are no other drag radials in that size that I would be happy with. I guess I might be happy with the Hoosier 335/30's but I am afraid they will wear too quick. Has anyone used them? How do they compare to the M/T drag radial?

I have done ALOT of research lately, and I have come to the conclusion that I should not go with the BFG drag radial b/c most people say they suck for how fast they wear out!!

So I guess my only options are these

Nitto 335's---- Not sticky enough
Hoosier 335's----- Not sure if they will last atleast as long as M/T's and havent really found any solid information about the traction with them.
M/T DR 345's----- Would more than likely get these b/c I know they hook, BUT I need to know if they fit b/c when I test fit the Nittos, there wasnt much room left before they hit the inner wheel well, plus the nittos stuck out about 1/8" - 1/4" past the quarters and I dont want the M/T's to stick out any further..

HELP me out guys!!

What drag tires do you guys carry that would work for me?

Thank you for the post Venomized. We would be happy to help you with your tire needs.

The Nitto NT555R Drag Radial in size 335/30-18 has an overall section width of 13.19" (measured on a 12" wide wheel). Nitto does not have the tread width available. The Hoosier D.O.T. Drag Radial in the 335/30-18 size has an overall section width of 13.2" and tread width of 12.2" (measured on a 12" wide wheel). The M/T ET Street II in size 345/35-18 has an overall section width of 13.9" and a tread width of 12.8" (measured on a 12" wide wheel).

The M/T ET Street Radial II in size 345/35-18 is about 1.5" taller in overall diameter when compared to the OE rear tires where the Nitto NT555R and the Hoosier D.O.T. Drag Radial in size 335/30-18 is about the same as stock. Because of the difference in total circumference between the two sizes, you will most likely experience some serious tire rub with the M/T.

Based on what you are looking for out of your competition tires I have to say the best option for you is the Hoosier D.O.T. Drag Radial. With 760 RWHP, this is going to be your best option for what you want look wise and still provide decent traction. As far as life goes, this Hoosier model should last just like the M/T.

I hope this information helps :rockon:
