I've got a 03 GT that's already lowered with Steeda Sport Springs so my next MOD is new wheels and tires. The front appears to have come down a bit more then the rear and I would like to put 18X9's all the way around. Has anyone experienced any clearance issues with the car being lowered and using 18X9 rims? Also what size tire should I consider with the 18X9 rims, I was thinking of 265/35ZR18? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have a 2002 GT. I lowered my car with H&R Sports, my front is also lower. I have 18x9's up front and 18x10's in the rear. I have 265/35/18's on the front and 285/35/18's on the rear. I have no rubbing issues at all, and they look great. So 265/35/18's all around on your 18x9's should be perfect!
