9 in the front and 10.5 in the back looks badass, but it will slow it down a bit. And chrome bullits will look nice on the black car. I say 17x9 in the front and 17x10.5 in the back.

Well, you don't need the 10.5, it just looks awesome from behind.

10.5 would look awesome but they are heavy and will slow your car down. i would go 9 all around. oh and chrome bullitts would look awesome on your car.

me too. maybe get some adapters for the back, but if you go with the same size all around then you can rotate your tires a lot more effectively

yeah. Unless you're driving a really powerful car, I'd keep all 4 tires the same size, unless you don't care cost and stuff.

yeah, your tires will last longer too, because like someone said earlier, you can rotate them more effectively.
