Default Question about wheel rubbage

I'm getting a silver 2006 GT tomorrow, (very excited) and I want to put on the 20 inch chrome saleen wheels. I was going to put on 265's on the front. I want to put 315's on the rear (10 inch rim). Do you all think there might be some rubbing issues, or anything else when having such a large tire?

Thanks.

I changed from stock 17x8 bullitts to the 18x8.5 bullitts with 255/45/18's and I had my front Roush springs and struts installed at the same time. I had a little rubbing when my front wheels were turned all the way to the right. I am now running 5/8" wheel spacers, and the rubbing is gone so it must have been a rub on the inside corner of the tire.

You will have no rubbing at all in the rear. If the front rubs, it will only be when you're turned all the way to the right or left...so.....just don't turn the wheels that far.

Any reason for putting that much rubber up front? Just more weight and money IMO
