I'm running 275/40/18's all around. Other than some severe tramlining issues on rutted truck roads, it's a very stable ride. BUT, I'll be going the 255's front and 275's or 285's rear when it's time for new rubber. Besides reducing the tramline issue, I like the staggered look better.
Sorry about the pic. It's one of the few I have at work.

Did some "research" looking at used mustangs in Springfield yesterday.
Visually, did not see much if any difference in the 2 sizes. Even the "staggered" setup on a GT500 looked as wide as the 275's on a Roush.

am tires and wheels
So i think I've fallen in love with the 2007 GT500 rims...Now, what tires?
LMR has a package that includes the 275/40/18's. American Muscle has a package that includes 255/45/18. I think this is the size GT500's had on the fronts, at least.
I don't know how much, if any 5% less sidewall will make.
Anyone running this combo without issue? They'll be going on my 06 vert v6. Please, post pics.
Thanks.

I was thinking of going with a 285/40 or maybe a 295/45 on the rear. I am going to send off my 18" bullits and have them widened to 10 or 10.5". I was thinking if I did the 295/45 and changed my rear gears to 4.10s it would be like having 3.90s. What do you all think?
