I'm seriously thinking of a 305/35/18 but having problems finding them...going to try and find pics. Just seems like a 295 will be to narrow for what look I am going for...

I went through Cruzin Concepts and got my setup 18x9 and 18x10 with nitto INVO 255/40/18 and 295/30/18 for $1300 shipped (it was a package deal they had going)
BUT be careful, when ppl say their customer service sucks....it sucks LOL Only reason i stuck with CC is because AM didn't have the INVO's and I liked the different tread.
I'm lowered 1.25" and on good swooping bumps on the highway my tires rub on my fender in the back with the 295's, BUT if you back up on a steep hill to tuck the tire up and articulate the axle, they will not rub BUT VERY CLOSE. They won't rub on axle articulation due to the fact that when you do that you pull the tire up in a radius motion, on swooping bumps the wheels are moving straight up. I have since put my ISO's back in to gain 1/4" and see how it goes....so far so good.
As far as the tires go...I don't drive HARD, but they seem pretty quiet and ride nice, they handle rain well. They seem to get good reviews
Not mineral grey but...If i did it over again I'd go 265's in the front. But they were not offered in the package and I think 255's are more common if you have to replace them.

NT05's
/thread
I have them on my car and they are awesome. Hook great, handle great, and I got my NT05's from a local tire shop for $235 mouned and balanced. Discount Tire Direct has them listed for $237 i believe and possibly might even have free shipping.
