I have had 3 sets of AFS wheels and they are of the highest quality, I highly recommend them. I would do 17x10.5's in the rear.

Deffinitly do 17x10.5" in the back, you wont be happy with just 9" wide in the back it wont fill out the fender well enough. I bought my cobra wheels for $502 off of ebay, and payed $980 for some of the best tires I could buy. Then $120 for mounting and balancing So thats like $1600 total. Much better deal than that. Those tires suck!! and ESSENZA 210 type R tires only 255/45, I have never heard of those tires in my life!! I have Goodyear F1's 275/40 and 315/35

Im getting ready to sell the car so i dont want to pay 1600 for rims and tires.. The only reason im putting these on is becasue a few days ago my back tire blew out in the rain and i lost control and went over a curb and bent 2 of my cobra r rims. I just want the car to look nice when selling it and the rims would do that. Thanks for the replys.

If thats the case, I saw some cobra wheels on ebay for about $700 range with 17x9" and with tires and balanced. That might be your cheapest bet. Shop around on there..... But what you picked is good enough.

I agree with everyone else; get the 9/10.5's. Have you checked OEWHEELS on ebay? They are usually cheaper.
