Whats the biggest width of Nitto NT555R I can get on a 18x9 rim? I know the Nittos (or some of their models at least) fit narrow, and I believe people have said in this forum that a 305/35/18 will fit nicely on an 18x9 rim.
Nitto NT555-r max width on 18x9 rim
- Thread starter Toasty
- Start date
i've seen people put that size on a wheel, but it had alot of bulge. if they offer a 295, i'd go with that.
I think 285 is all you can get in a 555 before it goes to 315, right? I had the 285 555's on 9 inch Zenetti's and they fit great. A 305 would definitely bulge, even with a 555 which traditionally ran narrower if I'm not mistaken.
On a 9"? That I would have to see. 315 Nitto's bulge a bit on 10' Saleens, how on Earth would they fit a 9"?
My wife has 10.5" bullits on her gt with 315's. They are about 12.5" across the treads. They bulge a little on the 10.5", might look funny on 9".
there is no 315 nitto 555r in 18" you will be fine with the 305/35/18 Toasty
That's right, I remember now. It jumps from 305 to 335 in 18".
Again, I'd have to see a 305 on a 9" to believe it.
IIRC, only the 17" 555R's run small. I've got the standard NT555 in 285 35 18 on a 18x9 and there is a slight buldge to it.
Anyhow, iirc Nitto only makes the 555R in 285 and 305. Save yourself some money and go 285, 305 is too big for a 9" wheel.
well i used to have 18x9.5 y2ks and with a 285/35/18 555 street the side walls were flush. The 285 555 is a tad wider than the 285 555r (per nittos web site) I then got some 295/35/18 bfg drag radials and mounted them on the y2ks and they had just a slight bulge. IMO 295 bfg dr is about the same width as the 305 nitto. (since bfg runs super wide) The 305 nitto will look decent on the 9 inch wheel you have.
/thread. :beer:
My apologies I thought I read it was a 17... Anyway the 305 would fit fine on an 18x9 still and would look better than a 285 once again because nitto's run smaller than normal tires...
For reference... Here is my friends car (1st post) that is running a 345/30/18 BFG DR on 18x10 saleens. And although it has a little bulge the tire wear was normal and looked badass IMO and that is much wider than fitting a 305 nitto on an 18x9 rim

Agreed... Someone who also knows from experience
One of my friends has 285s on a 10" and it looks great, and another one of my friends has a 305 on a 10" and that one looks a little wider but great also. I'll try and get a pic of the 285s...btw both of them are running nittos
