IMO.... but i am a fan of a slight change in size. the tires are 245/45/17 in the front and 285//35/18 in the back. i was confident until i got on here and seen some pics.. what you guys think? yall think it will look good or no? in your honest opinions? if anyone has this set up plz post pics.
My buddy bought wheels for dirt cheap for his 00 GT. Turns out they are 18x9 front 18x9 rear. Guy had 245/xx/18 on front and 285/35/18 rears. He just got all new tires over past few months. Went to a 275 tire in the rear(which looked much better on the rim) and kept 245 front. I think it looked maybe a little odd, but in part because the rear tire just didnt look right on that small of a rim(was a nitto 555). Really though, 245 front 285 rear wont look bad, a powerfull car isnt designed to wear same size front and rear.

However, if I'M gonna pay for a wider size wheel, better believe im putting a bigger tire on it vs the stock 17x8. A 17x9 wheel should fit a 255/40/17. If your so worried, sell the 245's(stock wheel size so should take a whole day to sell them) and get a 255. Then at least the extra inch width is put to good use.
