305/45/18????
Don't know what to do here. I seem some people running them saying it's OK, but to me they just don't SEEM to be able to fit. I have Steeda lowering springs (1.25 in the rear), adjustable panhard, adjustable lower control arms, BMR relocation brackets, Tockico adjustables. I run Nitto 305/35/18's now and they fit, but I don't get any traction with them. Well, not as much as I want anyway. I am going to the Mickey Thompsons, which will help, but am wondering if I can also get more sidewall. HELP!!!

This calculator says unrecognized tire size...
1.2" diff in radius, too.

STANMAN,
Beacuse you lowered (and you obviously have figured it out
) you mostlikely can't fit so large a tire. Seems the taller you go the less likely you'll have decent traction. Your on the right track by switching to the Mickey's but you may have to go through a few more to get exactly what you want.
I run a 295/45/18 in the rear. No good traction on a hard launch but I likke the way it looks (the trade off) Good Luck!

I think they will fit and am considering going to that size when the Nitto 305/35's wear out. I'm also lowered with HR race springs (will swap to steeda rears at track) and still have a good deal of wheel well to work with. I know what you mean with the Nitto DR's... while providing much better traction than the 275/35 BFG's I had... it's still not enough, even N/A with 4.10's they light up pretty good.
It also depends on your rim offset. You want a good wide rim that will tuck.
