295/45/18 on factory rear wheels - anybody?

Might fit but your pushing your luck on an 8" wheel. 265 is comfortable but any wider and I'd think about widening the wheel.

I was running Hankook 295/45/18 on stock rims for a while, no issue.

:cool: Were they the ones I'm looking at Ventus ST RH06 ? did you like them?

I have Hankook Evo V12 all around now, but short rears 255/45/18, I'd like to go with stock or taller rear tires. Wider is a plus.

thanks

Ran 285 x 50's for 2 years, then a year ago I changed to the tire You are talking about, I like them, the deal is what you give up on weight, you gain on traction.
 
Been running 295,s for a long time & never have issues. It is in fact the largest tire you can run on stock rim.
 
Excellent news, thanks all for the replies.
I was ready to settle on 265/50/18, same basic height, less width. But only Nitto has them.
I'll rn the 295 now because I like the old school big/little tire look ;)
 
iwas about to order 265-50-18 myself nitto 555 and glad I didn't....

I also like the biggg tire in back and smaller in front..but also want something bigger than stock to fill the wheel wells better

I wanted the biggest I oculd go without issues just didn't think a lot of members ran this size but now I see they have :banana2:

so im going to order the nitto 295 for rear and already have new nitto 255-45-18 on front so gonna look sweet and now wish I did the 265-50-18 in front...

im guessing that would have been biggest on front and back combo without issues but im gonna be fine with the 255-45 on front for now my next set will be 265-50 fronts

Be sure to post up some pics (up close and all around) when you get those 295's on there! ;)
 
Subscribing. I'm about due for some rear tires and would love to try something different. I need more grip, but dont want to run drag radials
 
no pics yet I just ordered them today...I had to pay off my 4 255-45-18 nittos right.....then ordered the 295-45-18

I going to use the 255-45 one for my spare full size and one spare

I only got these 4 bec they had all 4 in stock and NEEDED tires ASAP was a safety issue and they only had 295-45 in stock on wedsite my work goes thru :shake:......

but should have them in and time at work next work to put them bad boys on and I CANNOTT wait to get them big boys on...

also my rauder is a daily and the nitto 555 aren't AS BAD as I thought would be in snow since there a high performance radial and not a summer or snow tire butt.....was taking it slow but these thing stick to dry pavement better than any other tire I have ever drove on...a hugeee upgrade over the stock bf Goodrich I had on there
 
I'll have pics by the weekend on mine. Tires mounted, but car in garage with sandy, icey roads = no driving yet.
