Can someone help me out that knows for sure. I'm looking into getting a set of 305/35/18 555Dr's but I don't know if they will fit on my rims. I have Ford FR-500s 18" by 9".
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Nitto 305s on 9" rims?

They will fit fine
Thanks alot.
Sorry guys, it will fit but it won't be close to ideal.
You're sacrificing performance and drivability when you cram a wide tire on a narrow wheel.
A 285/35 will be a much better tire on a 9 inch wheel.

Oh really, that sucks because I found a good deal on those tires. I believe you because I don't know a whole lot about tires. Maby he will sell me the front tires that are 275/35s. Also if I go with 285s would I get better traction going with a 40 or 45 as opposed to the 35s? Would that look weird with 35s up front?
We put 285/40ZR17 NT555s on a 9" wheel, and thats as big as i would go. They have more tread (by nearly an inch) than my 295/45ZR18 F1s. The 305 seems way to big.
I had 315/35/17 on a 9" Rim... the 305 will be perfect!
I can't find 18" nitto 555 drag radials in 285 or 295. I would like a bigger sidewall if I could find them, 40 would be perfect because I want the look of a fatter tire in the rear. Can anyone help me out? Do I need to go to a different brand? Thanks in advance.

They are the same company...and they can get them, you just have to ask for them...I'd have to agree though, you may wanna run with a 285 instead of the 305 on the 9" rim...or just upgrade the rears to 10-10.5" and you'll be set :coolman:
I'm going to get deep dish FR-500 replicas out back so I can run the 305s. I think they should look fine with Ford Racing FR-500s in front.
