Help with Tire size for 18x10 & 18x9

why 18x9 in the front? If you go 18x10 in the rear, put 285/40's on it. They will be 27" in diameter so your speedo won't change. I put 18x8 on the front with 255/45's. They were also 27" in diameter. Stock tires are 27.2" in diameter.
Edit: Perhaps this should be moved to Exterior mods. It really has nothing to do with performance for the GT since these rims will also fit on a V6. There are a lot of tire threads under the exterior mods that you may want to do a search on.

This can be moved if you would like, but I see this as a necessary "performance increase" for a GT with more power than stock, like, oh, say a supercharger?

check out the Roush - 18 x 10's on each corner with 275 X 40/ 18"s. looks goooooood! Also - check out tire rack's web site - good data wrt manufacture's recommended rim width by each tire size.

No reason not to put 18x10 on all 4 corners w/ the 275/40's. U could rotate...same side that is w/ the comp tires.
I love it, handles great.
