17x9's are for babies mommas. Even my wife has 18x9.5. My car has 18x10
A 9" wheel is still not going to come anywhere near the fender to fill that gaudy gap because of the wide quarters on our cars. (Unless you run spacers but that's another whole set of issues.)

well. when money is an issue having 17x10.5 out back and 17x9 in front just isnt economical. alot of people on these forums think that we all have tons of cash to just throw at our cars. im a college student and i blew 3/4 of my college fund on my stang (lol) so how am i or others who dont have alot of green going to buy wheels that are bigger which require bigger tires. with that scenario, you cant rotate your tires and it costs more too

compromises in mods is stupid. you can either afford it, or you can't.

im also a college student. i don't work at the moment though because free time with my friends is much more important to me than a car. these are some of the last years to do crazy **** and have a great time. i don't want to look back on college and think about all of the moments i missed out on because i was working to mod a car. i can have my badass car when i graduate in a few years. not to mention ill be able to do it without going broke at the same time.
