Tires from the US
Well I bought new rims too from the us.
I sold the Cobra R's I had on the car. I wanted a wider tire in the rear and like the look of the deep dish. I could get a 17X10.5 Cobra r but not in deep dish (you can get r's in deep dish but they have rivets and wouldn't match the fronts).
I ordered some chrome FR500 rims from AM.
The 2 17X9's were fine but one of the 10.5's had 4 bubbles in the chrome. You could also actually see the grooves in the chrome too where the rim was machined when it was made. The other 10.5 was flawless.
Anyway, I emailed them about the problem and they sent out another rim the same day. Hopefully they checked this one before they sent it though.

I'm not sure of the size you listed.
As far as I know the 05/08 GT has a stock size of 235/55/17 with an optional size of 235/50/18.
I think you would have problems running the 255/40/18 as the diameter will be off by over 4%.
