They're only available in 275/40/17 right now. At least that's all they list on their website.

according to the Nitto website, the NT555R II is meant for auto-x and road race type racing. and the normal NT555R is meant for drag racing. They look almost the same, maybe the compound is different?

I run the Yokohama AVS sport that tire rack had on sale a while back. They are ******* sweet road tires. Not sure if they have anymore though

well due to the amount of time it would take to get the 555r's in, i've decided to go with the bfgoodrich comp drags. 255/50/16's but will they fit on my car with the stock wheels? if not, how can i MAKE them fit? vosko, if you could please explain the rolling of fenders to me...

the BFGs will fit fine on your car, i had them on mine but i sold them to fix my broken rear end. just remember that you have a 70% chance of breaking your rear end with the BFG compared to regular tires.
