Default Decision on what size Bullitt rims

So I have 17x8 Bullitt rims all around and I'm trying to go for that staggered look since the time is right(moneywise) I'm debating on getting 17x10.5 out back or some 18x10's. The whole deal with the colors not looking the same is not a problem since I'm getting them black with the chrome lip. I like the raked look so if anyone has pics of what 18x10's in the back with 17s in the front looks like post please.

If I were you, i'd stick with 17'sin the back, just to save money on tires. You can still get a rake if you put a taller tire on the back.

Also to add on too, if you rotate your tires. Tires are directional they will have to take the tires off the rim to do it properly. I want to do it too, but being mine is a daily driver too much hassle.

I agree with mineral pony ...I have 17 10.5 out back from am and they are awesome!!! Looks badass from the rear. Staggered. I got the set rims and tires from am nitto tires... Get compliments all the time...just my opinion but I don't think the new edge should have a 18 inch wheel ...17 is perfect.

not just that the speedo will be thrown off do to the 18 and 17 mix. 18 are a little more money for the rim the 17x10 in the rear would give you more of a stock off set look. plus it would be better to get the 17x10 then the 18 type with the rubber. it is just my opinion on why i learned the hard way with my gt on the 17 and 18 mix

17x10.5 with a 315/35/17 would look killer .. I had a 98 cobra with that set up and had to remove The rear quad shocks to get them to bolt up , you shouldn't have any problems

I have the rims now... But no tires, they are expensive! ha
I really want to go wide with 315's, but i heard that certain brands make 275s that will fit a 10.5 wide rim. I looked around for some used 315s but no luck any of u guys have some u would sell me?
