Default tire question for stang

im looking to put a nice set of 18s on my 02 gt convert 5sp and was wondering what is the widest (without looking stupid and loosing performace) set i can put on the front and back, i would like the back to be a little bigger. thinking of 18x9 and 8x10 and 275x35 and 295x35 on front and rear respectively any suggestions would be appreciated thank you

I don't think you can fit a 10 inch wheel on the back because of the quad shocks, and I know a 275 will fit but not sure about anything bigger. An 18 inch rim is gonna hurt straight line performance anyways.

Don't go bigger than 255 upfront and 275 out back.
