Default 295/45?

hey guys i just bought some Nitto NT555 295/45/18 for my car. I wanted to know if i mounted these on my 10" rear wheels would they rub on anything? Ive seen people run these tire but with suspension mods. Would i need to buy some mods to get these tires to fit right or can i just put them on with no worries?

Thanks man! Yea thats what i went with Nitto. I have Sumitomo tires right now and i slide with little rain. So hopefully ill grip a little better plus have a killer stance!

That's a big ol' bad a$$ tire. You did lose some gear though. That is about an inch taller
than stock. The 3.31 are now more like 3.14. Throw in some 4.10's and you'll geta happy
medium between the recommended 3.73's. I want big tires and gears too, my wife wants
a new king size matress set. I think I'm screwed...and not in the good way.

depending onyour stock rear end geometry, you might need an adj. panhard rod to center the rear end.

Those are the rear tires I'm running, on 18x10's with the Eibach Pro Kit and D-Specs. No problem here.
