Roush did 275/40-18s all around on their 18x10 wheels, so they'd work out fine.

You could go 255/45 - 18 for same 27" overall height (tons of tires made this size), or down to 274/40 - 18 at 26.6-26.8" (lots of tires in this size) , or up to 275/45 - 18 at 27.5-27.7" (not too many at this size).

Can you safely put a 255/45 tire on 9.5 wheel? Post up some pictures when you get your's mounted Ryan. I'm thinking it's time for a new set of wheels.

Man Rich, you sure go through wheels! And to answer your question about the 255/45, that is same size that comes stock on 07-09 GT500's. I have been running that same size on my 9.5 inch CS69s (front) with no issue.

Any word on this? I am interested to see what wheels will be available. Wouldn't mind seeing the Brembo package wheels on an early S197. I might be the only person but that's alright.

Well....that figures with the way my luck usually runs!

I am getting BF Goodrich R1 track tires mounted and balanced on the SVT rims on Wednesday....I'll try to get a photo posted as soon as I can. I won't be putting them on the car for awhile, but I might put just one on the car for a quick photo comparison.
Still waiting for the Hawk brake pads to show up ( probably going to be another couple of weeks ), before I put the car up on jack stands and put on the new slotted rotors, SS brake lines, pads and Motul brake fluid. Waiting until everything gets here, so I can drive the car in the meantime and not have it up on jack stands, waiting for brake pads.

Rim range 9.5-11"
Overall diameter 28.4"
A 285/40-18 would fit much better at 27" (same original height)
I suppose you could put a 295 on a 9.5" rim, would be better at 10 or 11" though, less sidewall curvature.
