It's still 9" for the front of the GT. 10.5" will fit on the rear.

thanks, and in your opinion would you rather run 9 in the front and 10 in the rear or 9 in both so you can rotate?

I personally like the "staggered" look but if you want to save money in the long run then you can get 9 or 9.5 all the way around like my old Y2K Cobra R's were so you can rotate...

Don't think mine have ever been rotated on either car. It seems if you keep it aligned good then you get equal wear on all tires (with the exception of going to the track and heating the tires).
