Question What size tire for my 06 GT

I ordered from mustang tuning a set of 18x9 front and 18x10 rear for my 06 GT.

I have steeda ultra springs to lower it.

I am thinking about ordering 255x35x18 for the front and 285x40x18 for the rear. Is this a good choice? will the 285's fit ok. I want to go with the Nitto tires as well. I know the sticky says 255-45-18's but why the taller tire on the front?

Discount tire has so far good prices on them. Has anyone dealt with them?

Thanks

good choice

i wouldnt have a gap for 55's in front then 40's in back...it would look wierd...get the same for the front and back or thicker in back

i would go 295 in back

Default went with

285's 40 in the back.

so it is kind of staggered....but no rotating the tires then.

Several sites recommended this set up. I thought about the 295's but the price and limited availability of brands shut me down.

I have heard nothing but good about the Nitto 555.

We'll see

Thanks for your reply
