275/40-18's on a GXP?
yeah i talked to a guy at discount tire last summer about some new skins he actually bitched a bit and said that the 255s were even a stretch on our wheels sometimes those guys are idiots though

There's not room for more on those rims. now with 18x9's as long as calculate the offset you can fit anything. The rear is where it gets a little gray. that guy at discount tire is half way right. the recommended rim size for 255/45-18's is 18x9 but you can fit them on 18x8's and I think they look better that way. plus it's safer for your rims in case you curb it. like the minimum rim width for 275/40's is 9" It's all in the offset issue. I know it can work, just how much the tire sticks out is going to be the question. That's why I want to do a test fitting before I buy anything. That's gonna be the only way to do it.
EDIT "and that's a great deal on that set of 4 Speedshifter, get em. Definitely for all-seasons. I wouldn't recommend these F1 all-seasons. I am just focusing on my summer tires at the present moment
I can't wait to see how beastly this thing looks with those tires on it."
