255/45r18 tires for stock 18 inch 2006 mustang gt wheels

They are the 5 spoke wheels but the wider ones and not the thinner ones. Is this the max size for my stock wheel? I'll be getting eibach pro springs to lessen the gap since i read that the tires are a bit shorter than the stock ones.

Should i be ok with these tires and springs? Next summer i'll do some serious suspension and engine upgrades...i'm also certain i need a tune for the new tires to fix the speedometer accuracy

but just want to confirm these facts on here

thanks guys!

They about as wide as you can go given most tire manufacturer's recommendation for minimum acceptable rim width (8 to 9.5") and just a tad shorter at 1/10th to 3/10ths of an inch depending on the brand.

No adjustment to the vehicle's speedometer is necessary.
