285's all around? New wheels or powdercoat?

I'm running OE GT500 take-offs which are 18 x 9.5 and they accomodate from 255's to 285's with most tires. But the recommended min and max tire for a given wheel is dependent on the tire specs and not on the wheel.

Ahhh thanks Nuke and Mayo, I was mental shut down. I'm at 255 all around now and currently have 18x9s and they fit just well. I'll look into the wheels I'm looking at and with all of this new info, I think I'll go with the staggered set up but maybe 255s up front with 275s or 285s out rear with 18x9s and 18x10s. Those cruizin concept wheels that hotwheel posted up would look amazing I think, but I've heard of a lot of negative feedback coming from past customers on this forum so I may just go with the staggered gt500 wheels.

If your worried about the quality here are the 2010 SVT wheels from ford Racing:

$215 each, not too bad.

Cruzin Concepts.....Well if you don't mind the wait and a chance of getting the wrong fitment they have good prices! Seriously though, I never had a problem with their customer service or getting a good person to talk to, but when I ordered my Black Saleens a year and a half ago for 2005+ model, apparently they were out of stock and just decided to ship me 99-04 model. Not only did it take almost a month to receive them, I received a completely wrong fitment. I was like why the heck would you just do that? Anyways after talking to the service guy, they gave me an option of sending them back at no charge and an option to dry fit them to see if I like the offset. After waiting a whole month to get them and having my heart set on that particular rim, I was too pissed off to deal with the issue any longer, so I just kept them. But I seriously hope they have improved their order process.
