Haha, damn that sucks.. I don't know what to say. Maybe I just became adapted to it. Never had any issues like that.. You have the same size as me to (275/35/20) too I think, right?
I love it, but then again I really love twisty country roads and hard turns and all that more than just a straight highway blast.. I used to live in the mountains years ago and would blast up and down every so often. I got more of a thrill out of going down the mountain doing 60 pushing the car to edge in a turn than I did going 130+ down a straight..

If you don't have any sort of power adder, there is no performance-based reason for going staggered on a 4.6L GT. Only your appearance preference (which is OK too, just not something that needs my input on).
Va drivers - it's been quite a while, but I remember that some of Virginia's 3-digit county route numbers were pretty challenging drives in places.

Staggered will tend to be a little better in a straight line in the dry, and definitely poorer at cornering in the wet (especially where the transition from slightly greater understeer to throttle-caused oversteer will be more sudden).

Going back to my last unanswered question, does anyone have any input?
I'm still pricing out tires, leaning slightly towards NEXEN since they have been great with me so far. Looking at the AM site for my wheels they say I need 255/45/18 for the front and 275/40/18 for the back.
Obviously NITTO makes those sizes, but NEXEN only offers the 255/45/18 size in their N3000 and N7000 models. I want the N7000 but they don't offer the rear tire sizes. Is there a tire size that is very similar that I could buy that would fit the rears?
Those are the only sizes for 18" Rims. Yes/No/Maybe?

GT500s here on NT555s.
They look great (wheel design and tread pattern), and they aren't too bad in the rain... I baby it because even in a tuned 6, it's way easy to spin that read tire and kick out the back end on corners.
However, I've also heard that the Sumitomos cause a little more road noise.
