The Nitto 555's extreme performance I was looking at are 285/40/18 and the tires John has were 285/50/18. So it won't be as tall. hmmm.

I'm probably going to wait a few more weeks to let the temperature warm up a bit so when I get the setup in, I can just slap them on.

Laura's Sally wears the 285/40-18 on the back (about 2" shorter than my 285/50-18). 275/40-18 up front. We both have the 18x10 rear and 18x9 front wheels.

It's said to be a "clearance special" on their website, but doesn't state when the sale ends.
With the popularity of the FR500's in black and Nitto 555's.. I honestly don't think they are clearing out anything for good.. may just be a marketing tactic, though I think the price is close to a steal. Equals out to be about $285 a corner.

The black chrome is hot, but I'm afraid I'll scratch it up or hit a pothole, etc.

I'm busy this Saturday, but should be free on Sunday and I don't have anything planned the following weekend. Think it would be best to hook up on a weekend, since it starts to get dark when I get out of work. What does your schedule look like?

WTF only 285 a corner HOlY SHIZ. I paid like 500 a corner or my wheels and tires and they were not as sweet as those FR500s or those nittos:( im soooooo sad now:(

I'm trying to see if I can get AM to price match for me or get it close. I hear good and bad things about CC, so I'm not sure if I want to pick them. If AM falls through, then I'll see about placing that order with CC.

Anyone know if you have to pay shipping on wheel and tire setups from Cruizin Concepts?
