Tire load index rating

[SK17]

Hello. I have a 15 GT with aftermarket 18” rims. I wanna put on 275/40/18 Nitto NT555Rii drag radials. I noticed the load rating is 94. Will this be a high enough load rating for this car?

Load rating is fine but what about rim width?

Thanks for the quick reply. The car came std. with 20x9 inch rims 265/35/20. The new rims are 18x9 and I'm gonna put on 275/40/18.

The 9” is going to be skinny for a 275 but doable. Better off with 10‘s if you can get them.
