narrowest I ran was 255's on a 18" 9.5.
I would like to know the measurements between nitto's and other brands. I measured some 275 nt555's and some continental 275 at the point of tread contact and both looked to be at 10" road contact. Tool used to measure is designed to measure wheel width for tire balancing so not as inaccurate as using a tape measure.

I just got some Nitto 555R , the extreme drag radials for street. They're on a set of 18x10.5 wheels, the tire size are 305/45/18. They did rub a little with the wheel well and rear bumper but I got it fixed. I do not recomend that yo get 45's they are just too meaty!. But the 305's do fit just fine, with the exception of the bump stop on the rear axle.
Here's the link to see the pics if you are intereested:http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...=134246&page=2

Awsome, thanks! My new wheels are 57 offset 18x9.5 on all 4 so they should fit great
Thanks, im going with 275/35/18 on all 4. Those do look meaty but pretty sweet. I would just get your car a little lower so they are tucked in the wheel well a little better. Clean SS though man. And as for me, i just put on LCA relocation brackets and adjustable LCA last night, so bumper rubbing shouldnt be an issue for me. Now to just find the time to get my new struts/shocks and strano springs on.
