Default I need pics of some tires

Im looking at getting a set of 18's (18x9 Front...18x10 rear..)but Im not for sure what size tires I wanna run in the rear the choices are between 275/35/18 and 295/35/18, Can anybody post a picture of these 2 sizes to compare, Im just trying to justify spending that much more on the 295... Im also looking at running 245/40/18's up front....Any of you guys have this setup.

Why do you want such short tires? You're increasing your wheelgap in the wheel well.

i wouldn't go any shorter than 40 for the height... I would say 285/40/18s would work well in the back. That's the stock size on the GT500s

Here's my old setup. 18x9 255/45/18 (stock height) in front and 18x10 295/45/18 (a little taller than stock height) in rear. EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have Roush rear springs in the pics. The front suspension is stock.

+1...I have the same set-up as thewarmachine and it looks very good. The rears come out be about 11.5" wide so it looks awesome.
