Default Enkei Wheels opinion

I am considering going from stock 17x8 on my 2009 GT to:
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

but going with 18x9.5 all around (40mm offset) and 255/45-18 tires Front 285/40-18 Rear.

Any opinions, It is a Daily driver too...

Thanks

Opinions as to what exactly? The size of the wheel? The design of the wheel?

Well I can't personally attest to this but 9.5" up front seems a bit too much. It sounds like it will be a tight fit in the front wheel well and the design looks somewhat tuner-ish in my opinion.

I would probably have to see them on the car before I could give an opinion on them because some wheels like that really look good on Mustangs, others.. not so much.

Yes, more on size, fitment and "practicality"
I have seen them on a Mustang here: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...ml#post2115243
but the guy posted these was not the owner so I could not ask him directly about them.

All I'd like to know is the fitment on the x9.5 all around with 255/45-18 tires Front 285/40-18 Rear
