I was thinking of getting BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 tires-
Front: 255/45YR18
Rear: 285/40YR18
Do you think it will look odd to get 45's in the front, and 40's in the back? I have 245/45/17's front and rear on my 2000 vert V6 now.
Oh, wheels will be most likely 18" Bozeforged wheels or black bullits.
Opinions on looks and performance much appreciated!

"Front: 255/45YR18
Rear: 285/40YR18
Do you think it will look odd to get 45's (SIDEWALL) in the front, and 40's (SIDEWALL) in the back?"

Edit: Forgot to add the calculations...
255 mm * 0.45 = 114.75 mm
285 mm * 0.40 = 114 mm

hmmm..ok. I think I will just have 45 sidewalls front and back then. I have found the smaller the sidewalls, the more $$$ the tire.
#6
.75mm is a tiny difference. Those sidewalls are the same height. 40 and 45 refer to the % of the width.
Example: 245/45/x has the same sidewall height as a 275/40/x or 315/35/x, about 110mm

I saw a pic of a 05 GT with wider tires in the back...I think it looks really mean. Especially with deep dish bullets.....ugh.....sick.
