Default please identify the front rim size in this pic

this pic is basically exactly how i want my car to look with my new rim setup, only thing is, i cant tell the width of the front rims, the backs are clearly 10.5in wide. i only ask because i saw a gt parked by me at school the other day and it had 275's/17x9 all around, and didnt like it. i figured they could also be 17x8 but not sure, does anyone have any guesses to the width of the front rims? 17x8 or 17x9

it is completely impossible to tell the tire size by looking at a picture!

They're 17s if you look at the rear gap its pretty big compare to when you put on a 18 inch wheel it covers it good. The car looks to have a eibach pro kit on it

on impossiblility, tire size yes, rim size no,

aside from 10.5 rims, most rims are hard to tell, but a 9 inch rim usually comes past the front bumper a little bit, to me, those look like 8 inch rims almost 100%, but i didnt think people paired 8 inch rims with 10.5 in rear rims

Those are obviously 17's but I think the OP is trying to figure out how wide. It would be lot easier to tell if the pic was from the front but that looks like 8" wide.

17's = FTL
18's = FTW
