Which is wider tire 295/35/18 bfg drag radials or 305/35/18 nitto 555r drag radial. I heard nitto run alittle thinner and a 295 bfg=315 nitto.The reason im askin the this question is my roush rim is a 18x9 rim and in 98 Roush put 295/35/18 on there 18x9 rim in the rear stock. When i bought the car the 295 on them which( i believe were goodyears) looked great. Last time i bought a 295/35/18 bfgs drag radials they seem way to wide but still put them on i seem like they were bulging out rim alot. Want to know if i get 305/35/18 nitto tire itself wont be wider then the 295bfgs. HELP!!!

in my experince the nitto is pretty small. The bfg wont last as long on the street for dd driving but work 100 times better than the nitto, if you want a really good drag radial for non daily use i would go with the micky's
