I have 19's on my 06 GT. People keep saying that you will have a hard time finding tires for them but I haven't yet. I am running 245/40's all around since this is closest to the stock circumference. My next set will probably be 255's all around to get a little taller tire and wider as well.

stick with 18's. you can find 19" tires, but the selection is very limited

I've got 19s, love them. The 20s on my last C300 made it handle funny so I went with a little smaller this time.

Thanks TPony. I get compliments on them all the time. I can't wait for winter to be over so i can put them back on. I store the car with the factory 17's on it.

I like 18's the best. Seems to have a large selection of everything. I like 20's, but man that is a lot of tire to turn!

I would go with 19", but I have noticed that the wheel selection for 19" is a lot worse than for 18" or 20".
I think 19" would look just perfect.

What is the benefit to having 255's on the front and 285's on the back? Why not just have 285's all the way around?

I know this may upset a lot of people, personally I think any 05 stang and up looks silly with anything bigger than 18". Wider rims and tires,great!
