I have a stock 02 GT and found what I hope is my new rims and tires. Rims: 18 x 9 / 10. Tires front 245-40 zr 18
Back 265-35 zr 18. Will this combo direct fit and look good. I really need to fill up those wheel wells and get a better looking stance. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yeah that sounds like a good match.. with 18x10's I 265's would be the minimum to go. If you want a mean looking stance from the back to where your like dang go with 295's. I have 275/40/18's all the way around and my car is lowered 1.5 inches and they ride nice.

Yor saying 295-40 in the rear and 275-40 in the front would look good? Thanks.... I want as wide in the back as possible without any issues.

Thats not to tall on a 10" rim believe me.. I have 275/40's like I said in the rear and thats on a 18x9 rim and they look great.. I will take some close up pics if I get a chance today.. By the way the lower profile you go the worse the ride.

Sounds great 01GT thanks for the replies. Yea i was sure the ride would suffer but I bought this thing to look mean and run like a bat out of hell. If I wanted a good ride i would have bought me a caddy..lol. I just want the widest rubber in the front and back with no mods and no issues. I don't plan at this time on lowering the car. After the rims, tires and new top my money is going into power goodies.... can't wait..... One more thing, was that a 295-40 or a 295 35 in the back. sorry for being confused on this stuff I just wanna do it right the first time...
