Yeah...I could keep my current wheels with the KH kit, but they look so "small". I have also been looking at using the Late model Cobra brake conversion. Those are huge!

Might want to choose wheel sizing based on what's actually available in tire sizes and performance levels. Might even want to look ahead to the next time you need tires.

It kind of sucks to buy a set of wheels and find out later that the tire size that you bought the wheels for is no longer being produced by anybody, so choosing a size that several mfrs currently support is probably the way to go here.

^^ This.

That's why my next wheel purchase will be 17x8 and 17x9. The majority of performance tires these days are made for those sizes.
