Hey everyone, I have the Roush 18x10's in the rear with 295/35ZR18 BFG G-Force T/A's. I want to eventually got some DR's for the rear and was wondering if there would be any fitment issues with a bigger tire on these rims?
Also, does anyone have any pics of them mounted on their ride?

Should fit. Are you talking about the Nitto 555R's? On their sizing chart they say that the 305/45 is for a 10 inch rim. You should be good to go...

305/45 is almost a 29" tall tire. i think you might want to stay with the 305/35 rII

I was just about to ask the same question! I'm planning on upgrading the rear tires of my Stage II Roush...looks like Santa Claus will bring me the Nitto's!

Yeah, the 555R's. I was looking on www.discounttiredirect.com and they had some decent prices with no shipping fees.

29" does seem a bit tall, I wonder if it would give me more of a "raked" look though?

29" tires will probably screw up your abs, and will throw off your speedo.

I don't think the Nittos 555R are available on 305/35 size...is this correct?

definately get it from them. They have good service and they offer insurence for about.....I think 30 a tire. I used my insurence twice so far and the don't even ask you to mail them the messed up tires, well at least they didn't ask me. BTW, 305/45 will be too tall, get 35 instead

Exactly, will also mess your traction control and might even rub with the lower Roush ride height. Stock sized tires are 25.7" tall, 3" is a big difference.

Conrats on the Roush. I will always love the red GT you had. You inspired me to get the Bullitt wheels, now I am going to put 10's on the rear. How long have you had the roush?

I knew you had the red Gt, did you sell it or trade it? Did you keep any mod that was on your Gt? If so, PM me
