They look like 17s

They look like 17s by the height of the sidewall. Nice look, see signature.
Not to be pokin' in your garage but my first love is in there, an 85 or 86 GT that very color. Also, where did you get that kiddie car?

18's with 295/45/18 rear and 255/45/18 front Nitto 555's. the fox is a 1991 hatch AOD that is all factory stock, it's a beater car, not a very show worthy piece, but i only paid $1900 for it, and it runs like a top and serves it's purpose. as for the kiddie car, it came from Wal Mart.

Nice. I'm not much for black wheels, but it works with the hot wheels ones and your car.

Nice stable you have here, the rims are quite fitting I might add.

Silver and black almost always look good, as it does here

very nice...I like those wheels...

so let's see...when we last left off, you were going to let us know how the 295 Nittos fit on a 18 X 9 rim. No Problems??? No inner rubbing???

I would like to go 295's but no one makes em in 17"that I can find.

Where did you order the tires from...??? Did you order them together with the wheels? I never see that tire size.

Thanks for the answers bro.

Heavy, the 295's fit like a glove on the 9" wheel. no rubbing anywhere, and it tucks under the car, not stuck out of the fender like some i have seen...i don't think i have seen 295's for 17" wheels either...as for where to get them, Discount Tire Direct, free shipping to the US...also the wheels came from Discount Tire, but not the online store, i got them locally...

Thanks for the answers Dream...

I think I might just keep my 17's in the front and go 18 x 10 deep dish bullits in the back and just go 305/35/18 555r's. The only thing holding me back is the price of the tires...about $290.00 a piece

A better choice would probably be the 305/45/18 555r's about $60 bucks cheaper and it will fill the fender nicely. Now I just need to find the $$$.

I wish Mickey Thompson had a 305/50/18 available...I think It would look killer!

the 35 series 555's are not the drag radials, only the 45 series are to my knowledge. check Discount Tire Direct, they have free shipping, and i know they are reasonable on price for Nitto's, best i found, and i searched and called numerous places before i ordered mine...even talked to a friend is who in the tire business and he couldn't beat their price...good luck, let us know what you get...
