We made it work. It does look sweet.gotzaGTO said:didnt work mike? but im sure it looked sweet!
AGREED! I don't get why everyone wants to keep claiming this won't work or that it is unsafe! Discount tire says you can even put a 285 on the stock wheel, and I'm pretty sure they know what will work better than we do. I have 275/40/17 NT555R's on the rear and there is barely even a bulge. I did not have to roll my fender lip and there has been absolutely no rubbing. I beat the hell out of these tires at the track at about 23-27psi and they were great. At least in a Nitto the 275/40/17's will fit with absolutely no problem and they look/perform great!Bone said:They work just fine!!Don't listen to all the nay sayers.Look at sig.
We will be offering them in a couple of weeks. We'll also be offering smaller sizes for those that don't want to go through what we did to make it work. We'll release pictures of them on the car at SEMA. One lucky person on this forum will get to see them today.gotzaGTO said:mike, are these rim and tires for sale? cause i cant seem to stop buying things from you guys! dont know if its the colors you guys use on the site or maybe some sort of sublimital message, but i'm drawn to it! but seriously though, id like to see the rims, maybe you have some pics......
Have you watched someone install a Nitto 555R on a wheel? The sidewall is so soft (drag radial) it practiacally falls on. Any standard tire meant for cornering (not an R-compound tire) such as BFG KD's or Kumho MX's will have much stiffer sidewall, and will not fit as well on a 8" wheel.BlueSuperGoat said:AGREED!
