SSR GT2 18X9.5 +50 for the FD

I have been thinking about getting the SSR GT2's for awhile now. After seeing them on this car, https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/ssr-gt2-my-94-fd-%2Apics%2A-458750/, I'm pretty much sold.

I'm just looking for some opinions on whether I should go with the 18X9.5 +50 all around (with a 265/35-18 tire), or should I just stick with the 18X8.5 front/18X9.5 rear recommended by Tire Rack?

Also, I'm thinking about going with the Kumho ECSTA MX or the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport (cheap, but they have pretty good reviews)

BTW, I'm running the stock suspension.

On a stock suspension, I would go with all four 18x9.5 +50 offsets with 265/35s. The BFG Sports are a lesser tire than the FD deserves....go with a top tier tire (like the Kumho MX, for example).
