Thats the O.E size of the GT's with the 18" wheel option. Your 1st choice is better 255/45/18

235/50R18 (27.2") OEM on 18 x 8.5 with +50 mm Offset.

255/45R18 (27.1") fit on factory 18 x 8.5 +50mm with no rubbing.

275/40R18 (26.6) factory tire 18 x 9.5 (Offset?) on Steeda Q335.

285/40R18 (26.9) MAY fit if offset is absolutely perfect on a 18 x 9.
Factory Saleen PJ Fronts are 285/35R19 (26.9) on 19 x 9.
