got 18x9.5 rs for my 99 cobra, plan on getting 285 for the rear wit nitto 555 extreme drag radial, but for the front i was gonna get 245 should i not get the drag on the front u think cause they stick better so it might cause some transmission problems caaue they'll stick so good, should i just get reg. 555s on the front and i got 4:10 gears so u think 285 is wide enough to handle the gear? all replies will help alot .

99 cobra 3569-4040

Im confused...i didnt know nitto or bfg made drag radials for 18in wheels. Are you sure you are not just talking about the regular radials from Nitto or the 555R's? I have the regular 285/35/18 nitto 555's all around on my 95gt and would love to get some drag radials for the back. Let me know whats out there.

BFG recently released a line of 18" drag radials. I think six different sizes are available.
