Anyone running Nitto 555r's on the street?

[HEMISFEAR]

What kind of mileage did you get on them? I'm thinking I'm buying a pair for the back and won't use them at the track since I have my Mickey T's for that. I'd like to get a season out of them and if I could get two, that'd be sweet. Anyone know where the best place to get a pair would be? Looking for a 305 in a 20.

Are you getting your wheels widend or are you getting something else to be able to run 305's on the rear?

They fit stock 20's just need a 1/4 spacer.

I wonder what 305's look like on the stock 9" wheels though. I'd think they'd be bulging quite a bit. Also, I wonder how they would handle some fast cornering, not that I or Milan would ever do that!LOL

HEMI, my Brutha!!!

Boy, am I glad you asked that question. Up here in the boondocks, my choice of local tire buys is limited. I too, am looking at the 555's, at Discount Tire. It's good to see some good info coming out on these. I was going to get the 275s, but if you say we can fit 305s on the stock 9s, that's even better!! I just want to go straight fast: I have a bike for the twisties...:hyper:

You'll need the 1/4" wheel spacer from Billet Tech or you could get your rims widened to 10 1/4 from weldcraft.

I have the BT spacers, but how exactly does Weldcraft widen tires? How much does it cost? I assume they're not in Washington, so I would have to ship, etc...?
Thanks...

They cut and weld a strip on the inside of the wheel. They can do from 10-11 inches I believe. PM SRT8bby...he just recently had his finished and they did a great job. They have a lot of experience doing this, but you would have to ship your wheels to them since they're in Michigan.

Actually, I think the first pic with the black 300 has a 305 on a stock wheel with spacers.
