Status: offline I've decided to get Niche wheels for my car. They are 18" wheels(10" wide in the back, 8.5" in the front), with tires that are 255/55R18 for the back and 225/40R18 for the front. I have an 03 GT coupe, it is not lowered (yet...) and would like to know if these will fit before I purchase the package. Thanks for all your help!

The rim sized will fit for sure, but I don't think you should use those size tires. They seem too skinny for the rims. I would use 235 or 245 for the 8.5" rim and something in between 275 and 295 for the 10" rim.

Status: offline I have 245/40?/18 tires on the front of my 18x8.5" front and it looks stretched and no tire to protect the rim. Same for the rear 275/35?40?/18 on 18x9.5", definately could have gone wider, but it was a wheel/tire package.
