255/45/18 front and 295/45/18 rear here. I like more sidewall and with the Pro-Kit, the wheel wells are filled perfectly. Not much reason to go with a wider tire than 255 up front. With the 255, it'll make the 295's stand out a bit more, and will be less rolling resistance.

I personally would not go 275 in front . DarkFire has a good set-up

I also agree. I think 45s are too much sidewall. I am going with 35's when I get new tires. Thats how it was on my old stang and i loved the lower profile.

I know mine are 20's ... but this will give you an idea of sidewall size

Running:
Front: 255/35
Rear: 275/35

295s look a bit large to me.
