agree 100% those tires are way too wide for those wheels and wont be good for anything but going straight. i wouldnt put anything wider than a 255 on the front with 9.5 wheels.

No, not even close. I have no clue where your reasoning is coming from. Track/autocross guys like myself want as much rubber on the front as you can fit. I run 275 in front on 9" wheels.

so yeah, i guess i should let you know weights.

I consistently measured 27.5lbs per rim using two different scales. Not exactly lightweight, but up to par with the AM or CC wheels. Pretty much same concept, except these wheels are Ford stamped haha

With regards to the tire width, I just check with the manufacturer's recommended wheel width. For example, a 275 NT05 should be running on a 9.5-11.0 wide rim according to Nitto - this is, of course, to maximize the most out of the tire.

I think those 2010 GT500 rims look good, especially on alloy and mineral grey vehicles...
