Default wow nitto's really are undersized...new tires inside!

Just got my kdw2's in the mail today! I ordered them sunday from tirerack and got the today. they're the same size as my 555r's(275/40/17) however the tread width is 3/4" wider than the nitto's, they look taller as well, but that might be due to them having almost twice the tread depth as the nittos. I'll get pictures on the car tomorrow, will be mounting them on my lunch.

I just got NT05s on the rear for my new rims. The 315/35/17 seems to fit about even width wise with my 10.5" rim. I'm curious to see how other brands will fit. I was close to going BF Goodrich. I was actually really close to going NT05DR but just simply couldnt justify the cost on a daily driver. I drive 50 miles of highway a day F that. Probly gonna order slicks to put on my stock rims for the strip.

Don't sell that car after youre that far in with mods, doesnt make sense. Youl be starting all over.

Especially if you are already building an engine. It would defeat the purpose of getting a different car.

HAHA nice ct.

I will have to look into those tires when i need new ones they have a cool tread patter.

I have toyo proxes r888's and they are a wide tire for a 305. Definitely wider then nitto 305's. I think nittos are all undersized a lil
