Like was said, SS/TC wheels are 7.5" wide. If you are wondering about tire width, the stock Continentials (225-40-18) are about 9.4" section width.

Don't confuse the NT555 summer tire with the NT555R drag radial. The drag radial is not available in our size.

If you want Nitto NT555 (not NT555R), they are made in 225-40-18 ($118 each at Discount Tire) or since Nitto tires tend to run slightly narrower than other brands, you could easily step up one size wider to a 235-40-18 ($136 each at Discount Tire).

M/T drag radials have great traction at the track, but I don't recommend driving in the rain with them. I almost put my GTO in the ditch once and I had slowed way down when it started raining too, scary.
