Project 2005 GP GXP
In all seriousness, the point I was trying to make is that I want to be able to rotate my tires.
I have two extra 18x8 Alcoas in the garage that need tires. I was planning on putting 275 on them and then buying another pair of 275 tires for my current fronts and going 275 all around.
But after seeing what 275 looks like in the rear, I've made up my mind by sticking with 255 and simply buying two extra 255 tires for the wheels in the garage.
So yes, I knew about the front tires being wider to combat torque steer. Yes, I had plans to go wider to combat it even more. Due to the reasons stated above, I will forgo that option.
The skinnier tires in the rear only affect handling in extreme cases (like autocross). So going 255 all around would be ideal [for me] and have little effect on driveability.

I have dual 2.5" sorry. They are very raspy!
