Oh wait we have the same tires too! (cept I have 275/40/18's all the way)
Hey curious... why didn't you go with 18x10 all the way around?
Just like the staggered look or what?
I have that size all the way around but I may go staggered later.
I was just wondering what made your decision for ya.

I like the staggered look, plus wanted to go wider then a 275 in the rear but didn't want to go wide up front, and the biggest part in making my decision was the the rims and tires where free, that's right free, I work for a Ford dealer here in South Florida and we took in a 07 Gt in trade with new rims and tires (**** still on the tires) I swapped out my 17" OEM split spokes for them.
