I'm getting the GNX flares installed soon and I'm going to buy some rims to take advantage of them.

I've pretty much decided on a 17-18" 9" in front and 10" out back.

The question I have is I want to keep the muscle car look, just a little more modern looking. Therefore I don't want to run a 30 series tire on an 18" rim. I was thinking of a 275/50/18 on the back and a 245/55/18 on the front. Lower profile than stock but should still have that muscle car look. A little extra diameter wouldn't be a bad thing since I'm going with a TH400 so no overdrive.

Has anyone tried larger rims with a healthy aspect ratio? I think this would look nice since the GN is a pretty big car anyway.
