I think PP2 squeezes 305s onto a 10.5" wheel up front? But, I have been nervous about going wider than a 275 or 285 up front on my GT because I just don't know what will safely fit on the 2017; when (of even if) I should use a spacer; and, if there might be unintended consequences to going with too-wide a tire given the original design parameters for the GT (e.g., could I end up causing early failure in the steering rack, or some other issue)?Just wait until you move the wheel and tire package further up.
10" wide is a pretty good place to be for 265/40's, but for 285/xx or wider you'll want more wheel. At least PP2 spec, though 11" square would likely be better still.
Yeah, it's easy to spend other peoples' money.

The old set of 275s on 18x10 +40 were getting to be a tight fit, but clearances were still OK. I have thought about maybe 285 or 295 on the 10" wheels; any thoughts? The 18x10s are nice and light; I would like to stay on those for a little while longer just to save some $.
Many thanks,
Joe
