Status: offline I have the optional polished aluminum 18"s on my 2006 GT and need tires. I think the rim is 8.5" wide but want to make sure before I go with some 255s. Also, KDW2s or NT555s? Seems like I can get the Nittos for cheaper with a 255/40/18.

Status: offline 255/45/18 is the best way to go. gets wider than stock, yet retains the same overall diameter. That 40 series is going to create more wheel well gap. yuk
