Tire question

Hi, all!

Quick question about tires here - I am looking at replacing my tires with Nitto NT555's (front) and NT555R's (rear). However, the only matching size betweent the two that I have been able to find is 285/35/18...would these fit onto our stock rims? The way that I read it, the ones I am looking at would be slightly narrower and more low-profile than the 295/45/18's that I have on there now. It is quite possible that I am figuring something wrong (I am on 24-hour duty right now), and I want to make sure that the setup that I am thinking about doesn't wind up looking ridiculous.

If so, are there any other suggestions on sizing between these 2 tires?

Thanks for the help,

Steve

Most people run the 295/45R18 555's up front & the 305/45R18 555R's out back...I think it looks meaner with the slightly bigger tires on the rear.
