Will 17x10s Fit All Around, Look Good, and Not Rub? The wheels I'm looking at are only offered n 17x8 and 17x10, and there is no way I'm getting 17x8 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> So that leaves me with 17x10, and backspacing is a minimum of 4.5 and max of 8.5. What backspacing would I need to make these fit? I'd just use 275/40/17 tires on them unless there is a problem there with width of the wheel against width of the tire. Say if I need to step up to 285/40/17 I "guess" that would be OK too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> The main deal is that I want the same tire size and backspacing all around so that I can rotate the tires, but also not have the front rub any. The last thing I need is a tire getting eaten up because it's rubbing. My only other concern is that with a 17x10 wheel up front, and I looking at it sticking out slightly outside the fender lip? I don't particularly wnt that happening either, and if a 10" wheel up front is going to do this regardless of offset I may have to look elsewhere for wheels. Thanks for any help on this one guys, it's much appreciated.

Re: Will 17x10s Fit All Around, Look Good, and Not Rub? the sema 302 camaro had TT II's 18x10's all the way around with 295's, motortrend said they rubbed a little but that car was pretty low. I think they should work fine but i would get 285's. As for backspacing, i have no clue, should try calling them.
