Got Some Nitto Nt555s

[phatboy5015]

Got some Nitto NT555's for the rear (275/40r17). I know a lot of people say 275s don't look right on 8" rims, but I think they look great. It's been raining all day, so haven't had a chance to test them out. $398 out the door.

I still have the stock 3.27 gear, but will be going to 4.10s in about 4 weeks.

Hey, did you smoke your lights yourself or buy the smoked set? I'm seriously considering doing mine. It looks so clean to me.

I bought the Raxiom ones from American Muscle.

x2 for the raxiom ones. I had them and I thought they were the perfect smoke AND didnt black out the back up light. oh and x2 on nitto tires as well.

Hmm, I may have to pick a set up.

315's or bust...

Just kidding, your car looks really good! I just got new Nitto 555's and I love them, totally made the car a lot better to drive imo. They really impressed me how they handle in the rain for a summer tire they are really good, I had 245/45 all around before and I got 3 years out of them with 33,000 miles.

Yeah, 315s would be nice, but those will have to wait. I plan on eventually going with a Vortech, so will upgrade wheels & tires then.

Your car looks sick though!

Tires look good man. From your license plate, you live in my neck of the woods. Where did you get your tires from? Local or online? I live at the reservoir and have a 99GT and am looking for a new set of tires to replace my worn out Eagles.

I went to Upton Tire in Brandon. I'm sure they might be a little cheaper online, but on tires, I'd rather just go local.

Pretty quick service. And they even balanced my front wheels for free.

Nittos FTW! I've had a set(s) on my car for over 4 years now. I always have and probably always will keep suggesting them to people. They really are a great tire. My current set has 25k on them, and they've got at least 15k left on them. Have cut a 1.92 60' time on them as well, and I'm sure they have 1.8s in them pretty easy with enough torque down low.
