Yeah I have 335 bfg and IMO they are a little big from the rear. Every other angle is great but when these are worn I will be buying 315 r888
So help a new guy out...315 or 335 in the rear?

What do you guys think of the 335 Nitto 555R? I assume that is cut smaller then the BFGs and R888s. This car on 335s looks good IMO. Thoughts?

Cant give any feedback on that tires as I havnt ran it, but I know BFG run wider usually in the same size...not sure how or why...
335
I've never tried a 335, and doubt I ever will. I've run 315/35/18 toyo TQ and 305/35/18 toyo R888 on 18x11 ccw sp500s. I think overall I prefer the 305/35 the best in the fitment and looks department. Sticking out past the fender is not esthetically correct for these car IMO.....but as always to each their own. And one other disclaimer...many times rolling fenders could be necessary. Beware if thats not something you're willing to do
315/35 TQ
305/35 R888

Don't. The 555R's suck. I have 335's in the first pic and I ditched those tires quick. The bulge made the rear feel sloppy and 335s are just too big.
Flush with the fender will be determined more by your wheel offset than your tire. 305 can do it but that is better for a 10/10.5 rim. 315 is the proper size for an 11
Here is a good question. What are you guys running in the front with the r888?
275/35 seems to be the popular choice.
I guess I should have said what kind not what size. You guys running the r888s all around? Or something else in the front.
I run the 305/35/18 on my classics and it looks good, fits perfectly
I personally will do the 315/30/18 next time around because I prefer the shorter sidewall than the 305. I do run R888's all around, 275/35/18 up front
The 335 is way overkill IMHO, I had a friend who had them on his 18x10.5 and it was bulge city.

315 on 17" wheels - Nitto 555R
305 on 18" Wheels - M/T ET Street II's

Until I switch to 18" rims, I went with nitto 555r 315/35/17 in rear. Night and day between the 245 555. No wheel hop at all, stuck almost like glue. Only prob I have is they lasted just under 6k miles. Sliding around corners occasionally probably didn't help. Need to find something that grips the same but lasts a little longer.
