Tax time= New Tires

[JDwhite98gt]

Well its time for new tires. I currently have Avon tech m500 tires in the front and nitto 555r's on the rear. Being that I have a2 month old my car has been going slowly back to stock. I have stock gears and stock midpipe paired with an slp cat-back. Anyway, I looked at the proposed tire sticky and figured it would be best for my application to go with Nitto's 555 Exteme. They are still a performance tire but better for everyday use...the stang is my DD and the Avon's go wop wop wop down the road and the drag radials are too worn to drive with every day. I decided on
255/35 ZR-18 90 WB for the fronts and 295/45 ZR-18 XL 112W for the rear. These will be mounted on my 18 in faleens. Are these the right size as far as sidewall height goes? Right now I have issues with rubbing on my quarter panels and cutting grooves in my nittos in the rear despite have new tokiko blues and hotchkis LCA's. Thanks

I also found Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110's for about the same price as the Nitto's. sizes are a little different then the Nittos though. 255/35 R18XL 94Y SBL- fronts and
295/30 R18XL 98Y SBL. The difference in the sidewall height from front to back has me scratching my head so can someone clear it up for me?
