    those sizes sound good fred.. rear tires will be about a half inch taller then the fronts which will be just fine..

    ORDER UM UP!!!!
    Tires actually are very close in size according to a calculator I was using to determine those are the sizes I want (close to stock and close to each other). You are correct on the wheels, 10.5" out back and 9.5" in front

    Just not sure what kind of tires to get. Nitto 555r's in the rear? Suggestions on something for the front?

        yep they should be 25.6 in the front and 26.1 in the back..

        whats your goals for the car? do u want a stickier tire in the rear or just a street tire? do you want them to last a while? so many options u need to narrow it down to what u wanna do with the car and go from there.

          lol not hating at all. I will be ordering 255s and 285 in a week or two. I have considered 255s all the way around but my wheel wells measures 14". IMO it needs another 30mm of tire for a looks POV. But I am one to say I don't care for 315s on a stock 4th gen. (They stick out too much)

            Just need a good street tire that'll hold up for a while, sticky-ish would be a plus. I'll throw something else on my stock 16's for the strip

            • Riken Raptors are good for just driving. Nittos are somewhat sticky and will last longer than other drag radials.

                  I'm with slim shady here.... Check Toyo's too. Had them and were great on the street. Quiet and held pretty good.

                  Please don't put Nittos on the back and a different tire on the front...

                        Lol... Haters gonna hate... I'll look at the Toyos. Prices on KDWs for the rear aren't terrible. Would like a ~$125/tire in the front though...

                                Thanks, those wouldn't be terrible for the fronts. Still want a tire that looks BA from the rear. Think the hazard protection of $16/tire covers reckless driving and excessive tire wear?
