Ight guys, so im about to invest some money to get my track time down. so far i havent even broke into the 13s yet. so i will be purchasing a turbo tech racing solid motor mount, (probably this week) and within the next 3 or 4 weeks im going to get a pair of drag radials and probably going to just go ahead and buy stage 2 axles since its a garuantee they are probably going to snap. but anyways im going to be running these drag radials on my stock 18s cause i dont want to be other rims, so here are the choices, and my buddy at discount tire is giving me pretty decent prices.

Nitto Invos 235-40-18 $145ea.
Nitto NT01 235-40-18 $170ea.
Nitto 555r 245-45-18 $165ea.

Which ones do you guys think? and also would as big as a tire as a 245 45 even fit? keep in mind my car is lowered with tenzo r springs....any help and input on tires and axles would be appreciated!!

Lower the sidewall more and the 245 will fit.

 

Yeah the 245 ones probably won't fit with a 45 aspect ratio.

Just as an fyi, I know you said you don't want other wheels but the price just for some place to mount and balance the drag radials then install street rubber afterwards will probably be about as much as a set of steelies from tirerack.com

 

you mean a 245-40-18?? if so i asked the guy that and he said they dont have it in that size. i didnt check on it myself but this guy is the manager and has been for a while so im pretty sure he is right...

you have a point, but i aint paying for that cause i know the guy...haha

well actually now that i think about it, depending on the cost of the 16inchers it could be the same or cheaper cause i would downgrade in tire size which would result in them being cheaper.....but where did you find these in my bolt pattern on tirerack.com?? i cant find anything other than 18in and 19in

 

You have to dig up winter wheels then delete the tire option. I picked a set up from tire rack for about 50 bucks ap iece brand new I think and Hoosier QTPs from Summit. I'll see if I can find a link.

Edit: It won't link but select the winter tire and wheel packages then when it asks you to select a tire click on the part that says "Don't need tires? Skip to wheels." Shows 41 dollars a piece for brand new steelies.
