If you are going to be rotating your tires and want to keep them all the same I would go with Toyo TS-1's in either a 265 or 275/35/18. personally I would do the 275's. I have the 275 TS-1's on the front of mine and I love them. They tracked a bit for the first 100 miles or so until they broke in, but now they are great. My car is not lowered, and i have zero rubbing issues up front. I run larger 295/35/18 TS-1's in the rear, again with no rubbing issues, so the 275 would be safe there also. These tires in this size have great traction (with proper tire pressures), and have good rain drivability. These are summer tires only, and you will want something else for the snow (I use a 98 F250 ).
Hope this helps....

What would be the optimal tire size for a 17x8 rim?

 

[Ryan02Stang]

Nothing is better than 315's on the rear. No wheel hop and barely any tirespin.

Throw some BFG rubber on those rims

What is the stock rims 17x???8-9? I have the stock grey rims that came on GTs in 2000. What size are they? Whats the best tire size I could get on them? I have to wait for rims because i need new tires cost to much to get rims and tires!!

For my 18x9s I'd get 275 on front, and either 285 or 295 on rear depending on manufacturer. I'm gonna upgrade to 18x10 rears next time tho...
