Tire Decision: Going on 17x8.5 et.30 wheels
 
What tires should I run. I am looking at two brands right now, both Nitto's and Toyo's.

I am looking at the Nitto NT05 and looking at the Toyo R1R. The Nitto NT05 only seems to be available in 255/40/17. The Toyo is available in both 245 and 255. 255's should fit on the rim, but how hard is it going to be able to fit it on my ride with the offset I am running? Will I have to run a lot of negative camber (I plan on running -1.5 degrees all the way around anyway, do I need to go more?)?

For those of you that don't know, these are going on the Dan Gardner RPF1's. I also will have coils by the time I get these wheels, so I don't have a problem adjusting the ride height.

I haven't heard anything about them yet, guessing b/c they're new, but they seem pretty sweet.

yes I agree plus I love the looks of them! The price isn't too bad at all either.

and the nitto's are cheaper too.
