Has anyone had any experience running 285/35-18 Nitto Invo tires on the rear of their vehicle ? If so, are their any general issues/special considerations one should bear in mind regarding fitment/useage of these tires on after-market 10" rims (e.g., would you use the same tire if you were to purchase new rear tires again given your experience with the Invo and/or 285/35-18 generally) ?

 

I don't have the Invo's but i do have the nt555's in a 285/35/18. If you wanna see some pics let me know. I'll post up them up when i get home. They are on a 10" wide rim.

 

Thanks- I would like to see some pictures and also ask if you've had any issues with the tires...in another forum I was advised that these are "awefully short tires" that will cause my gear ration to be MUCH higher...

 

It doesn't look like the INVO's come in that size???

but if you went to the 295/35-18 they are about 1 inch shorter than stock tires.

"Awfully short" 285/35-18's are less than 5% shorter than OE(25.8" vs 27"), so it's maybe more of an appearance issue.

Functionally, it's about the same as swapping 3.55's out for 3.73's, and there's about a 2.5 mph speedometer error at 60 involved (60 speedometer being about 57.5 true).
