Nitto Drag Radial's Fitment ?
I want to purchace a nitto drag radial NT 555r . I dont know how i should go abot it ?
1. Should i just buy Two 305/45R-18 110V B and put them on my current rimes " see sig " . Question will these fit fine ? rims are 18X9 . $235.00 each .
2. Buy some smaller rims and get either 275/60R-15 107V BLK or 275/40R-17 93 B . Where can i get some cheap 15" or 17" rims pair ? $129.00 - $157.00 Each .

A 305/45-18 is a 29" tire (stock is 25.6 - 26.1"). After you take a canopener to the quarter panels, it will make your car feel like you swapped in 2.43 gears in place of your 2.73's. The huge diameter and weight will really slow the car down. They are for setups making 500+ RWHP.
18" wheels are not the best choice for a drag radial. You will get a larger selection of sizes, and a better sidewall with 15" wheels. But not all 15" wheels will be a direct bolt-on.
