Stangyz 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2021 Anyone here using 17x8 front and rear American racing villain? I've been eyeing Nitto 555NT 245/45r17 that I saw from 4WheelOnline and put it on the fronts. Will there be any rub? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwcstang 201 Report post Posted February 18, 2021 can you provide more info about your? what type of suspension, brakes, is your car is lowered? if lowered, yes, it will rub slightly, when I had 17x8s 245/45 they would rub when I would turn or go over a bump but this would depend on the backspacing of the wheels.

Flanders 46 Report post Posted March 5, 2021 I can't say I'm hard on my tires at all, and don't really put a lot of km's on them. I'd say they are great for my needs, but I'm probably not the best for an opinion on how good of a tire they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought 4 Nitto 555 G2s cuz I liked the look. I don't think they grip in corners as well as the Michelins I had previously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
