New wheels and lowered

I just got the stang lowered with Steeda Ultralite springs and got Sport Max Racing wheels with gforce KDW tires. 18x9.5 in back and 18.8.5 in front. The difference in handling is incredible.
What do you think?
P.S. Got it aligned and no camber plates or bolts needed.

Thanks Bill. I was a little worried about black wheels on sonic blue but I took a chance and it looks great. I am keeping my polished 17in bullits for winter.

I'm a little unsure what the tire pressure should be. Will the pressure be any different since I went from 17 to 18 inch rims and from 235 to 255 wide tires. The tire place put almost 40 lbs in. The side of the tire says that the max pressure is 40 lbs. Anyone know what it sould be?

40 lbs sounds a bit high. I'd guess around 36 lbs would be fine.

Attached is the tire info on the inside of my door jamb (64W 18in tires/wheels).

Thanks for the compliments and for the tire pressure advice. I will keep it at 32 lbs, maybe a bit higher. Thanks for the offer Tom but I'm going to keep my bullits for winter.
