New tires needed...nitto NT05?

So my current rear tires (nitto invos) are completly bald and im looking into getting a pair of nitto NT05.. just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with these tires. also if i go up to 275s in the rear i should i worry about rubbing at all with these tires?

I have a set of these. Went to 275's with no rub and they grip very nice. They are also better in the rain than I expected.

NT05's are great tires!! Loads of grip.
275's wont rub on OEM 18's and stock suspension.

NT05 285's won't fit stock rims.
Only 285 we can fit on stock rims are the 555R's Dr's by nitto.

Another vote for gettin the NT-05's. My last 3 sets of tires where those and I LOVE them. Pretty cheap for the performance you get out of them. Loads of grip too.
