General Exclaim UHP 285/30/18
I could not figure how to post pix in PSC so......
Here is a comparison pix between 285/30/18 General to 275/35 Hankook.
I think General looks like 295+ kinda crazy wide. Hope this will fit my stock 9" rims.
And other pix is Nexen 7000 265/35/18 compare to the General.

That's a great price!!! Are you sure they'll fit? Can you let us know ASAP as I'll buy a pair now and just stick them in the shed! I have Continental DWS now 275/18/35.
Thanks for sharing this!

Thats why I got them.. I actually got them for $92 a tire about a week ago when they went on closeout.
They'll fit, just might have to adjust height depending on how low you are.

My car is not even lowered so it should fit. I just don't have time to install them and my service D light came on.

Just spoke to tirerack and he wasn't sure if they fit as they have no rim width listed for these tires. I also checked General's website and these aren't even listed anymore (they're discontinued), and so the guy at tirerack gave me the number to Continental who owns General and I'll call them first thing tomorrow and ask them if these will fit on a 9" rim. Once I find out, I'll post back here.
This is a SMOKIN's deal saving us all $100 per tire (I paid $200 for each of my Conti's), so we should all pick up a pair, IF they fit.
Thanks!

From a guy with over 3,000 posts I take your word for it and am ordering a pair now!
Thanks again everyone, this is why I love this forum, 15 minutes just saved me money on my car insurance! (Geico commercial remimber?)
I don't know this guy but he was super helpful on the phone so if you want to call him, his name is Bart at tirerack. 1.888.353.5082 x 669. He spent 15 minutes on the phone with me and again was really helpful.
They get paid on commission so I figured I'd give him a shoutout here. They have a bunch of these in their Nevada warehouse so us on the Westcoast will benefit with shipping savings.
Thanks.

It may say you need a 9.5 wheel to run, but there is usually a 1/2 inch allowance that will still work.. I havent mounted mine yet, but my rear wheels are only 9.5 wide and I dont for see any problems.

I'm in Columbus, Ohio and they have a warehouse in Indianapolis, Indiana (3 hours drive) and they want $90+ for shipping. Still cheap, but anyone know for sure they'll fit the E55 rears. The do seem to be very wide.

These tires are only $85 now on tirerack
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
I also just picked up a set of their 215/40/18 tires that will match the rears from here, which are also on sale..
http://www.discounttirezone.com/GENE..._513-5204.html
So for a little less than $500 shipped I got all 4 new tires.. Not bad..Should have them on next week..
Props to Chawkins (Craig) for the "Big meat, little meat" setup
