Hello all,
I’m sorry if this has all ready been covered, but I need help ASAP, as time is critical on my end for this. I currently have a 2015 ECOBOOST 50th Anniversary trim package with 255/40/19 on it. I’m looking to replace the wheels soon with some that are coming off a 2015 GT w/Performance Package. The seller currently has 275/40/19 on the rear and 255/40/19 on the front. The wheels are 9” and 9.5”. Can I still use my tires (255/40/19) all around on all 4 of these wheels? I have almost brand new tires on my setup and his are bald, so they’ll need to be replaced. I eventually want to upgrade to the GT brakes, but haven’t yet, and upgrade to a 275/285 down the road in the rear, but one step at a time. Also, will I need spacers for these? Just trying to calculate everything out and do as much research as I can before meeting this guy (he lives about 4.5 hours from me) and deciding if I want them. He’s letting them go for $600, which is a killer deal, but if I have to buy spacers and at least 2 new tires, I might have to wait. The wife is telling me to make sure on all of this before she agrees to go on a mini road trip with me to look at them, but I’m horrible with knowledge on wheels and tires. I can post pictures of his setup and mine, if need be. Please help me out with the best and most information as possible, as I would be leaving this Wednesday to go check them out (hints why I said time is critical right now). I really appreciate all the help and once again apologize if this topic has all ready been covered. I’m still fairly new to this community. Thank you again!

Yes, you can use the tires no problem. It's actually better to use then in regards to your speedo. It won't need to be recalibrated to read true if you keep your factory tire size in the rear.

And I won’t need spacers?

Only if you want to rotate the wheels and put the rear wheels in the front.
Good to know. Dumb question, but I could still rotate the 2 in the rear (I’m assuming 9.5” go in the rear) with one another and the 2 in the front (9” I assume), but not from front to rear?

You switch them from one side of the car to the other, but not front to back.

Direct bolt on.
BUT, if the tires are directional they cannot be rotated from side to side.
