I would just do that all around^^ More cost effective.

not trying to be funny or anything but how is it more cost effective to do all 4 tires rather then just the 2 rears?

will the 255/50R17 fit on the front with no rubbing?

i was trying to get the old school look of fatter tires on the rear and narrower then the front

Norm Peterson

Yes.

Mounted on 8" wide rims, a 255/50-17 is about half an inch narrower than the 255/45-18's on the 9.5" wide rims that Ford put on the GT500 (and what several people have mounted on "regular" GT's). Height is the same to within about 1/8".

I thought you were going to replace all of them and leave the front the stock size.
