Considering going to 40 series tires on my 06 GT and wanted some response on whether they will look too short and I need to think 18" or 19" wheels?
Thanks.
Jack

Sorry.
Nitto 275 05r's on the rear and probably 235 or 245 's on the front.

They are shorter than stock and yes will look short.

RIP - You will be missed
245/40 is the widest that you should even be considering for 17x8 wheels, and they would be way short. Over 2" shorter than stock.

255/45-18's on 18x8.5 up to 18x9.5 is one possible solution.

255/40-19's on 19x9's would be another.
