Im going to be converting my car to 5 lug soon, and I want to run a 28" tire on the rear and was wondering if anybody has run either of those sizes? There going to be going on 18x10 Saleen wheels with fox length axles. The 305/45/18 are Nitto NT05R or NT555R and the 295/45/18 are Nitto NT555 or NT05. If you got pictures post them up. Ive seen them on 05 and up but not on a fox.

NT555R 315s on 17x10.5" wheels. They tuck just inside the fender, but I had to roll the outer and hammer the inner.

45 series tire on an 18 inch wheel on a fox? Going to look horrible. That's like a truck tire.
Instead of munipulating the tires (in a very bad way) change the gears.
On an 18 of anything wider than a 265 you are going to need a 35 series tire, i'd imagine with a 305 you would need a 30 series.

Remember as you go up in width you need to go down in profile.
