Opinion please....these wheels come 18x10 & 18x9, there is a deal on them now for 1400 and some change. the deal is 18x10 with this 5" deep dish look w/ 285 18's and 18x9 w/ 3" deep dish for front 255 18's, would that look best, or 18x10 all around w/ 275 18's on all wheels. or a suggested setup?

Yeah, I agree.
I am going to go with 275/40/19. I have 9.5" wheels and got a 255/40 to "test" and it is stretched too wide and looks stupid looking down the side. Must just be my wheel/tire combo because the 255 looks fine on the Shelby wheels Wilki has.
It would probably look OK on a 9" rim, though. But consider that you can cheaply rotate the tires if you go 275 all around. Personally, I'd rather have the same size dish on all four.
