I am looking for something that would be close in comparison to the Nitto 555r (but they don't make that in a size that will fit my stock 18s). I would like to go as wide on the rear as I can without any modification, so it looks like a 265/35/18 would be close? Any suggestions?

If you did use that little search button, you would find that allot of people do not like the Nitto's. I read allot of good reviews on the Sumitomos and thats what I got. They are awesome tires for the price. Your going staggered so tires are going burn up quick. Get something cheap.

Yeah, I did some searching but didn't find anything overwhelmingly interesting. The regular 555's seem pretty cheap so I might just go with them. Can we fit their 265's out back with no modification on our stock 18s? Seems to be differing opinions.

On the rears you mean? I figure since the Nitto's run a touch smaller the 265's wouldn't be stuffing the rim?

This topic has been beat to death at one time or another. Do a search for pictures. But I did see a picture this morning of a 265 on a 8" rim that looked decent to my surprise, but even still.

I'll try searching more but have just come up with junk as far as the fitting a 265 nitto.
