285 Nitto's Anyone?
I want to get a set of drag radials for the summer and the Nitto's seem like the best option being that my C55 is a DD. The problem is the smallest 18in size they make is 285/35/18. I know Nitto's run pretty small but I am still thinking this is a stretch. Anyone running this set-up? Do they rub?
Thank you in advance,
Alex

c32used- How much smaller were your 245 Nitto's vs stock 245's? The 555r's I have seen all run really narrow for their rating. Looks like I might be SOL for finding drag radials that will fit on 18's and my car..

When you pick them up, I would be curious if you could measure the 245 Nitto width vs the stock 245 width. The reason I am curious is that I did a little a work at a peformance shop a couple years ago and the guys running Nitto's always adjusted for them running so small.

Sorry I think I was a bit irrelevant. I wasn't talking about drag radial tires particularly. I had 265/30 NT555s on 19x9.5s and they didn't rub.
