Default tire question

hey i have a question about a couple tires that i found on ebay... they are Nittos NT555 and they measure 295-45-18 W112 and i was wondering if there will be any problems fitting on my 95' they are going on Black FR500s that measure 18" by 10" also they have "5-7/32 of tread left... should i be concerned about how many miles i'll get out of them? thanks for your advice.

i'm not sure... they are wheel replica wheels so i dont' know if that helps.... does it matter when purchasing tires? and i'm not too concerned about mileage.... looking for a good deal.

i figured out that the sidewall height is about 5.2 inches... doesn't that seem tall? there is no listing for backspacing on wheelreplicas.com... although the offset is +24mm... sorry i don't know if that helps either.

I have 285's and I know at least 305's would fit in that rear well without hitting the tailpipes.

dude thats a huge tire. my boy got 295/35/18 on his TA and they measure 26' tall. so those 295/45/18 would be 28.4' tall...to tall for a street tire
