I have never had the NT05 but they seem to get mixed reviews. I have found them hard to find in a matching 275/35/18 and 295/35/18 set. They do produce both of those sizes but one or the other seems to get sold out often. I think the 275/35/18 NT05 get's snatched up because it's a common drift tire and size.

I have heard good things about the new G-Force Rival. You may want to hold out for that... If not 285/35/18 is a good size for a 10.5" wheel and is easier to fit without rubbing. I have 285/35/18 RS3's on a 10.5" et22 wheel and they fit great without rubbing. I would expect to have some challenges fitting a 295/35/18 on that same wheel/offset (10.5 et27 should fit but is not guaranteed). I also have 285/35/18 PSS on my 11" wide wheel and it's a little stretched. It does however allow me to fit an 11 et18 which looks aggressive.
