Will 275/40/17 NT555R tires fit on the stock rims?

What is a good source for buying the Nittos?

So they will fit on the stock wheels, or are you having them mounted on different wheels?

I've been checking into this as well, and Nittos website shows that the minimum width for the 275's is 9 inches, our stock rims are 8. :sad: I've heard people say they they will fit, but I'm not sure I would try it if the manufacturer says not to do it. They have the 555R in our stock size, but not anything in between the 245 and 275. I figure the choices are narrowed down to either 245's on the stock rims, or buy 2 275's and rims to put on when I go to the track.

:bullitt:

once again, i ran 275/40's on the rear of both my 97 GT (Michelin Pilots)and 99 GT (Dunlop Sport SP 5000's) with the stock 17 x 8's and never had any problems. loved them in the dry, harder to handle in bad weather(heavy rain and snow) than stock 245's cuz of the width. every tire is a little different but i think you'd be OK
(and i ran them HARD in dry weather!)
just my .02

I have a spare set of rims not the bullitt rims that are 17x8. Since so many people have put those tires ont 17x8 rims I plan to put them on my 17x8 rims. These will be my track tires.
