Should I Run 18x10 Deep Dish Bullitts on My Convertible?

I got a set of 18x9 and 18x10 Deep Dish Bullitts for $300 on Craigslist for my 2005 V6 convertible. Then I bought a set of excellent front used Nitto 255/45/18 tires for $150. As I am looking at the cost of 285/40/18 rear tires, and looking at the deeper dish wheels for the back, I am having second thoughts.

The 18x10's look great on coupes, but not so much on the convertibles. What do you guys think? Wondering if I should:

1) Sell all these and get some newer OEM 18" wheels and tires (used);

2) Sell the 18x10’s and put 18x9's all the way around;

3) Buy some 295/45/18’s for the rear and make them fat and deep (the 285/40/18's seem a little ricy)

Cost is an issue! I really wanted to stay below $800 for everything. Thoughts?

Keep the deep dish fattys. Fat tires on mustangs has never been ricey.

You can't go wrong with 18x10 wheels. Staggered makes for the more aggressive looking stance
