Yes Nitto run small. You should have bought a 295 for the 10" rim IMO.

Nitto's run small. 275 on 18X10's will be stretched. I would have gone 295 or 305.

I have 275/35ZR18 Sumitomos on my car on 18x9" wheels, and they fit perfectly. I think they will be too narrow for an 18x10, but we'll see.

I just got a set of the Cooper Zeons in 275 and they looked huge compared to my older tires before the install. Now I want to smoke em off and go bigger lol.
