18" GT40 Black Wheels
Thinking about buying theseto replace my 20s. ($700 for the set including shipping).
18x9 front, 18x10 rear.
Can I go wider than 255 front and 295 rear without rubbing? I also want the tires to look flush with the wheels.

I have 245/45's up front and 295/45's out back. I don't think you can go wider without losing the flush look, but I think you could get away with 305's on the back rims. I don't know why people want extra-wide tires up front - it will actually make handling worse as it will want to grab imperfections in the road more causing directional instability.

I was on the verge of buying these until I found my rims. I've got 255s up front and they track everywhere!

I love those wheels.
I am supercharging first but and torn between these two.
Back on topic I am actually leaning toward the Shelby's because there are 18x9.5 and I can run 275's all around and rotate them.
Staggered sizes and unidirectional tires are a pain if the car is a DD. If its a toy it doesnt matter. Had staggered on my last stang and it was annoying. I changed 2 rears to every front and the front wore different left to right no matter what I with the CC plates.
