You will need to a go a little wider IMO. 305's I think on that rim.

I think 295-315 is perfect for 18x10s.

I ran a 285/35/18 on my 18x10's that were on my GT but I should have went bigger.I had 18x10's on the Cobra too and ran a 315/30/18 BFG.

A great setup would be a 265/35/18 on the front and a 295/35/18 on the rear for a 96 GT.

Go with a 17x9 or 18x9 in the front with a 265- 275 size tire. that should look good.
