I already have some good 16" rims so I thought I'd put these on them and remove my nitto 555rs. Thanks.

I've heard these are much better than the 555r's. Thanks.

Yeah,the link isn't working.

I def wouldn't go with a nitto. I would go with Mickey Thompson drag radial. Whats the width of the wheel?

He might have just bought the tires. That is one of the screen you will get from a closed auction.

Sorry, this is the Correct link. These tires will fit great especially with Jays car because it's so low.

I don't know why the first link didn't work.

They are a 255/50/16 Mickey Thompson ET street.

Thanks for the help so far. I don't know how wide the 255/50 will be. I think my wheels are only 7.5" wide. I may have to find a set of wheels also.

Jay, those are the same tires that I posted and same size! What you do is go to discount tire and ask what is the best deal that they will give you for a pair of these. Then tell them that you can get them online for the price on ebay. They will match it. Then pay for them to install them on your wheels so you know everything is right! And they have the road hazard warranty that comes with them for free.

These tires will fit on your wheels just fine! People put these on 7" wheels all the time and work great, I've seen these on sawblades!!

Jay, I don't know if these will fit, but I would be all over these: for only $275 for wheels and tires, that is a great deal!!!

The wheel pattern for the nissans is 5 x 114.3 so they should fit. Ours is 5 x 114.3 as well.

Damnit man!!!!! I got beat to the punch. I was doing research and Boris knew it already.

They will fit fine, they are some heavy sombitches though!! You can fit the tires that Jay is putting on his car just fine.

i'd think they would be lighter, atleast than sawblades or tt's

I think they are a little heavier than sawblades, just because they are 16X8. Now if you get the turbo models they are actually a little lighter I believe.

But either way it will be fine for what you want to do .
