Default need tire/wheel advice for a 2005 Mustang GT

Hey folks,

I'm getting very close to finally making a purchase on wheels and tires, and I wanted some advice before I just go with what the tire shop says. I'm looking to buy chrome American Racing Razor wheels 20x9 all around. The guy suggested NITTO NT555 tires in 275/35/20 all around (which is what I was hoping he'd say). I plan on lowering just the rear with Roush springs. Will 275s work up front? I know the Saleens run 275s on all 4 wheels, but I'm not sure if I'll need spacers, or what. I've also heard good and bad things about the NT555s. Comparing these tires to the stock Pirellis, how do they differ? Thanks for the help!

For 20's I dont think it really matters what type of tires you put on so just get what ever is less expensive at the time. I run Falkins on mine and they look good and run really well.

I would do a 255-35/20 in the front and a 295-35/20 in the back

is anyone running 255s all around? 275 seems too wide for the front, and 255 seems to narrow for the rear. I like the staggered look, but it is also nice to be able to rotate the tires.

I believe the Roush's run 275s on all corners.
