I just bought 18x9/10 FR500's and they came with 245/40's on the front and 265/35's in the rear.

IMOP these tires are too small. I think it would look 10x better with 265/35 in the front and 285/35's or 295/35's in the rear. Once i wear these tires out I'll definitely install some larger rubber. Do it right the first time.

i have 18x9 & 18x10s and i also run a 265/35 & 295/35. overall, i like it. the front tire is borderline too thin IMO (sidewall). sometimes i wonder what it would look like with 255/40/18s up front.

will your car be lowered quite a bit? if not, wheel gap wheel be very noticeable.

fwiw, i have H&R SS springs.

I did 245's on my 18x9 wheels and they're definitely narrow. A set of 235's would probably be too narrow.

I run 285's out back. If you're gonna go with 295's or bigger, expect some possible rubbing depending on your lowering springs. Up front I have 245/40's and its a great fitment. As far is 315's....lol. Thats huge man, and will prolly destroy your gas milage.

way too small. 265 up front and 295 out back. Both look perfect on my wheels and my car is lowered without any issues. I have the isolators removed so my car is lowered almost 2 inches. I thinks it looks bad if your tires barely make it to the edge of the wheel.

it is a lot of meat (thats what she said). 315's look badass on a Termi, but if you're gonna throw them on a GT, make sure you lower it a bit.

These were on my Bullitt, stock springs. The 295's I have on it now look better, imo.

Like I said, they look great on Termi's but a GT needs to be lowered to pull it off. Now, the 295's I have on now look perfect with the stock springs.
