You want those larger diameter tires on the rear to make sure your always going down hill. It's how Ford eaks out 25mpg.

Nice. Yeah I'm going to stick with the 275/40s. Just funny I had 275/40/17s on my 03 GT too lol. When I got that car it had staggered 18s, with 255/35 and 295/35s and I hated how short the front tires were. I miss having that beefy staggered look!

I found a picture that shows a red 2015 with nickel silver PP wheels, but clearly Ford decided to go all black at the last minute.

Nickel silver or Black? I prefer the nickel silver and might have to get mine repainted from black to nickel.

I like both, but like the black wheels better :-) stunning in person on the various color combos.

Those CG pics look black chrome to me, and that looks 100x better imo. They should have done that!
