Default Buying New Rims...

Looking for any input opinionated or otherwise to help me decide on what to get..

I currently have stock rims (17x8’s) and am trying to decide whether to go with

18x9’s all around or 17x9(fr) and 17x10.5(ba)..

Thanks in advance for your input..

18" = looks badass, but expensive tires

X *10.5" = requires a WIDE tire

Why not go 17x9 or 18x9 all around.... Just slap some 285's out back.

Go with the 17x9 front and 17x10.5 back!!! I just got mine put on and it look really f***ing awesome!!! I have 285/40x17 BFG TA KDW's on the back and they hook really good. Can not wait to get the u/d pullys on and dyno tuned tomarrow, then off to the track tomarrow night!!!! I am hopeing for 8.6-8.8 in the 1/8 mile. The last run was 9.033 with the stock 17x8 and pos goodyear tires on the back.
