Default New Wheels and Tires

My car needs new tires and, at 45,000 miles, it's time for a new look. Is anyone aware of any reason why a set of FRPP GT500 18x9.5 inch wheels and 255/45-18's up front and 285/40-18's in back wouldn't work nicely on a GT that's been lowered with an Eibach Pro Kit?

There shouldn't be any problem with those wheels,
and the tire sizes are perfect and closest to the
stock diameter. Make sure the offset is correct.

Nuke will probably chime in with good info about
the GT500 wheels.

Autiger -- Same combo I have, works great, fantastic performance. I went with the Nitto 555s and love 'em. I've got the shelby gt500 chrome wheels; just make sure you get the offset +50mm. Got my set from discount tire on-line. Great price, super service - balanced ready to go.
