Todd,

Will these mount on a 18x9 1/2 inch rim? Please say yes...MJP

[Todd@Tires.com]

yes. They are ideally mated to a 10-10.5" rim, but 9.5 falls in to the approved catagory and will work fine for you!

[urslooow]

These are a bit pricey. The BFG 315/35's are $175 and stick like glue

[Gimmesum HP]

Is this the NT555R or the NT555 and does Nitto make a NT555 that will fit 18x9.5 fronts and 18x11 rears?

[Todd@Tires.com]

This is the 555R drag radial.

Nitto makes sizes that will work up front in the regualr 555. Nothing in the standard 555 line will fit an 11"

[CJS]

Todd, how are these for spirited street driving and cornering, no rain driving at all? I mean, Is the handling, cornering of the car really degraded?

[Todd@Tires.com]

I have noted that the Nittos do not lose any over their cornering ability over the stock units. The BFGs may lose a touch as their sidewall isnt as stuff. Aired up properly you shouldnt be disappointed with the performance of either

I just paid $229/each at Discount Tire :thumbs:

$501.30 was the roll price for the pair after state taxes, installed, etc.

:smash:

Hey 2k1vert,

Did you buy these particualr tires OR the 305-45-18's??? It's my understanding the 45's are simply too tall for the Vettes.

Todd, Can you price match $229/ea delivered...... I'd like to place an order this week. :lurk:

I bought 305/35/18. I have not really had a chance to test them out yet. Car is in shop getting SC, clutch and gear installed. :D

BTW - I think I got an extra low price due to problems with turn around. I was promised 2-3 days and it was over 2 weeks so I complained and got an additional $40-50 off the total price. The tire was not even in their computer system when I ordered, so I'm not sure if they even knew what to charge or if they sort of made it up on the fly. Best of luck.

:cheers:

yep they are 270 at discount here.. just ordered some.

[Buckmaster]

Do you have any 555R II in the same size? And you have the 555's in stock in 275/35/18? How much shipped?

[2k1vert]

I bought the 305/35/18 RII from discount tire. Tried like crazy to get the 283/35/18 R's but they just could not seem to get me hooked up. I really did not want the RII with the stiffer sidewall.

[dads01dream]

So, I'm looking at $270/ea.? Do you folks sell either factory rims or repro's? What's the cost for a pair mounted/balanced and ready to drive? :lurk:
