Anyone running 255/50r18 in the rear?
2012 GT here. My rear tires are starting to go bald and I don't have enough for a full rim+tire upgrade yet. Instead of just new stock tire sizes on the stock rims I was considering the stock 235/50r18 in the front and possibly a 255/50r18 in the rear. Slightly wider, slightly taller. Besides a bit more traction, I think it would look neat. Has anyone tried this? Is it a small enough difference where it wouldn't mess with the abs or traction control? And yes I'm aware that it will slightly affect my effecting hearing and my speedo.

I run a similar staggered setup but 235/50R18 up front and 255/45R18 in the rear. I opted to keep the heights similar.
The car is pretty well balance that way and never understeers unless I turn the wheel sharp and late while heavy on the brakes. Under steer sucks and if you live where it rains a lot, you may want to take that more into consideration.
