Rolling, that's enough reason to go for it. I may change my wheels down the road, maybe resort these to poor season duty, who knows. I just had an itch for Torq Thrusts on another car, so I went for it. Though if I sold my car and got a GT500, I'd prolly still rock the Torq Thrusts.

Looking for an all around daily-drag combo, 245x45x19 on 8.5" rims now had 235's on my last 06 and they looked fatter then this land barge 2013 with 245's. I need some meat on the rear and some more sidewall to hook-up but still maintain stability on tight off-ramps when I just don't wana use the brakes or slow down. Got those 14.3" up front so 18 might not fit.
Would I be odd if I mixed?
255x40x19 on 9" up front and 275x40x18 on 10" if I had 18x10" rears I'd get the meat and hook-up friendly sidewalls but never seen anyone mix 19's and 18's.
Most people wouldn't be able to tell and the more I think about it the more the compulsion overtakes me. That's it, I'll alleviate my neurotic compulsive need and set a canned message in my 911 assist feature to warn everyone should I not survive.
Thanks, I feel like a great burden has been lifted from me.

well Frank, luck is on your side. Thankfully since you have the smaller, standard brakes you can easily do the bigs and littles. You can go down to 17" wheels up front even, and run some skinny tires, and some nice and meaty 305's on 17's or so on some 10" wheels out back.
You can also just as easily run 18's up front or out back without any restrictions since you have the base brakes. Even if you had the 4-pot Brembos you could run 18" GT500 wheels front and back.
If you had the large front brakes you would also have 19x9's and 255/40R19's. They would give you the ability to do a 275/40R19 out back at least for some more tire
