Could I do those all around on the GT500 wheels? I know you can do it on the rear...looking to have killer handling after I lower the car and I know tires are a main part of the grip...but I will occasionally dragrace the car and I'm wondering if the bigger tire on the front will be of negative effect for drag racing. I DO NOT plan on changing wheels/tires at the track. I'd like for my DD to be the setup I thrash at the strip and track...

I believe 275 is about as wide as you want to go on the front. As far as a negative effect at the track with 285's on the front. I have never seen or read where someone has had them on the front and drag raced so anything I would advise would be purely speculation. However I cant imagine that having that wide of a tire on the front in a drag race would be a positive thing. sorry...wish I could give you more concrete info...

They will not rub at all!!! The GT500 wheel is 18x9.5 +45 offset. With a 285/40/18, there is tons of room still. I have run 18x10 +40 offset with a 305/30/18 all around, and still hav not rubbed up front. I will bee working on a 18x10.5 +45 offset with 315/30/18 all around. I will post pics and info when done.
