Tire size help for 9.5" rim

Hey guys, looks like im pickin up a set of chrome GT500's that are 9.5 inches all around, not staggered but i need some help on tire sizes. From what i gathered, GT500 mustangs have 255-45 on the front, would I be best to put this size on all around? Anyone know what sizes would keep the stock 18" wheel height?

I had those same wheels, and ran 255s up front, and 285/40s in the back. That gave a nice staggerd look.

255/45 all around if you want stock height and no stagger

a bit shorter 275/40 will work on those rims

If you have GT500 rims, I believe they're 18x10 in the back.

At any rate, my front tires are 255/45/18's and my rear's are 285/40/18's. I also switched to GT500 rims. Those are the measurements of the F1 Supercar tires that came stock with it.
