Need Drap Radials...Already Searched!
Searched, but did not come up w/the answer I need.
My rear tire size now: 275/40/18
Discount tire direct does not make Nitto 555R Drag Radials. I definitely need drag radials, my continental’s spin like crazy.
What are some other options?
Thanks,
Jason

i'd see if you can squeeze a 305 nitto on there. That'd look good. I know they fit Z06 wheels, not sure on the factory wheels

Unless someone knows already. I can't buy the tires, then try to install them. So, does anyone know if I can?
Thanks,
