Default Finally got my SVE drifts and Nitto NT555's! (with pics)

I've been waiting for a while for these to come in. What a night and day difference between the stock tires and the NT555's. Every category is a huge improvement: handling, grip, noise reduction, looks etc. I'm very happy with them. I can't wait to check out the drag strip. I have no doubt my times will improve big time.

Opening the box and seeing that big ole fat tire staring me in the face...it was so awesome!

I went staggered. 9" wide rims in the front (255/45/18) and 10" wide in the back (285/40/18).

If anyone is wondering if this is a good upgrade over stock...have no doubts, I love em. But in all fairness my stock tires were beat. The steel belts were starting to come through so just about anything would of been awesome.

I hate your base color by itself, but man! What a transformation and an absolutely breathtaking ride! I am in love with it! Glad you like the nittos!
