yeah either NO2 sticker or chalk pen a big N on your rear window and a smaller one on front.
i'm running nitto's, NT05R's, Hoosiers or MT ET Radials in 275 wide are good

NOS Sticker or N as WPN-270 said.
Mickey Thompson ET Streets without a doubt are the best get as wide as you can fit. the more footprint the better, a 275 MT will need to go on a 17x9.5 if you can. |

were you not sayign hoosiers where better then the ET Streets last week on the performance inc thread Prasac and i said no ETs?
But yes, you need ET Streets XR8. You need some drag welds to fit over the brembos. I think the 17x4 dragwelds fit over the brembos? Someone can confirm. Might be 4pot only? Dont know anyone who has run a 10.99 or better with an 18". 98% of 10.99 or faster club have been a 275 ET street. If chasing 11.3s or slower then even street tyres are fine if your happy with a 1.8 60' or slower. Just run a stock XR6 rim with the 275 et street, and stock front wheels or any front wheels. If you run front runners with a small slick tyre, you will need to run a full slick on the rear.
