    345/30-18 on a 18x10.5" wheel

    it is possible. i know because i have one mounted right now. that said, for me, it's very far from desirable due to having too much of a deep-dish style, so i'm in the process of trying to get a smaller tire to replace it. the tread sticks way too far out from the fender for my taste.

    oh yeah... i should probably mention that for those not familiar with Nitto Invos, the biggest 18" tire they make is a 295/35, and that's what this was until Sat night. i must've ran over something that caused this


    and likewise was running flat until i could get off the interstate & see what had caused the new slight vibration in the car. obviously, it had rode on the sidewall long enough to completely obliterate the sidewall belts & this is what happened when i tried to put enough air to get home on (i didn't know there was a hole at the time)

    looking at the inboard side, you can see that as soon an i inched the car forward to check the rollability, the entire tread swelled & shifted 3" out!



    so for those who still don't get the joke, i know good & well a 13.5" wide tire should NEVER be put on a 10.5" wheel... and it physically can't happen with a sidewall this short anyway.

    i just thank God my stock fronts hadn't sold yet & i hadn't dismounted them either. it's what got me home. when we rolled this one away from the car, you can just hear bits of shredded crap rolling around inside the tire

    these are good, too & MUCH cheaper! it just seems that for some odd reason, they apparently operate a lot better with air in them
