Default Tires for stock GTO 18's

Trust me I've searched. I am in desperate need of new tires for the GOAT, as the stock potenzas are the suck. I need some all seasons and i was looking at the Goodyear f1 all seasons. I do know i am wanting a bigger tire as less wheel spin = less wheel hop. From what I've seen 245/40/18's fit all the way around but is it possible to do a 255 out back on the stock rim. I only found info for aftermarket wheels but very little about the stock 18's. I don't want to do any mods either ie grinding, rolling fenders etc... Thanks for your help guys. I did not see anything in the sticks about the 18's either so it probably wouldn't hurt for that to be updated.

You can put Mickey Thompson 275s out back on your stock GTO rims...

I've decided on a set of 245/40/18 Potenzas. The extra grip the 255's would add just isn't worth it imo for not being able to rotate tires, and i couldn't seem to find an answer if they would even work or not. This set seems to be getting great reviews and tirerack seems to like them a lot.
