So, I am trying to order tires and getting stuck.....

Nitto NT05 *(What do people feel about these?) Street use mainly
Front

-275/35r19 = 26.65x10.79 / think this is too tall?
Rear
-275/35r20 = 27.56x10.75 - too skinny
-275/40r20 = 28.62x10.79 - too skinny
-315/35r20 = 28.62x12.40 / I think I can "make" this fit?

OR

Nitto NT555 *(What do people feel about these?) Street use mainly
Front
-275/30r19 = 25.51x10.71
-275/35r19 = 26.65x10.79 / think this is too tall?
Rear
-275/30r20 = 26.61x10.71 - too skinny
-275/35r20 = 27.60x10.91 - too skinny
-285/30r20 = 26.93x11.02 / I think this is a great fit with the 275/30r19 front but I am feeling this is conservative and I need to try the 315/35r20


Any other recommendations so I can order some tires and get them under the car so I can take my axle specs to start the axle build.
At 275 on an 8" wheel is to wide. Look for something in a 245 or 255.

Yea I was off on that, my head was spinning from the rear tires I was way off on that.


So is anyone running the Nitto Invo's? Not sure if they will look right on a classic car, maybe more euro new car?

Yeap..I really like it also. That was why I was checking your wheels out, I like polished but I was looking for alittle more industrial look so picked machine. Trying to match all the other parts I have.

im not a fan of the style of the invos. id still look into the 305 nt555rs for the rear if you arent concerned about having a tire with 200+ treadwear. thats the only reason i went with the 315 nt05's.

Nick,

I would check out the NT555R, because they do have the 305/35/20, which has a nice sidewall height, and will look good on that 10" rim.
