Yes sir. 2004 Saleen S281 Speedster #0256. Sadly, I sold her about a year ago. 23k miles on her.

Standard Saleen S281 wheels and tires are 18x9 front and rear, with staggered offsets... and 255/35 front 265/35 rear tires. If you ordered the 18x10 rear wheel upgrade option, they bumped the front tires to 265/35 and the rears were now 295/35.

Over the time I owned that car, I ran the stock 255/35 and 265/35 sizes up front, as well as trying out the 275/35 size that everyone kept recommending on the front. Plenty of different brands as well. Pirelli, Nitto, Michelin, Continental... I only ran 275/35 for a couple months, as I really didn't like the way they looked on the wheel.

Like I said, really, as long as the overall diameter is where you need it to be, the 30mm difference between a 245 and 275 all comes down to aesthetics and personal preference.
