Default Need advice - tire question.....

I plan on purchasing Nitto Extreme 555's and wanted to make sure these will fit on stock rims for the base model:

245/45/17 - fronts
285/40/18 - rears

*also, do these tires run larger than other brands - for instance their 285's are the same size as 295's in other brands?

Thanks,
TonyP.

I have found that Nitto's, Summitomo's and other tuner style tires tend be narrower than other tires (goodyear and bfg). Check the manufacturers website, it will list the actual width.
