Default 18x10.5.....rear. 17x9.5......front. Anything wrong with this....?

Or is 18x10.5 rear and 18x9.5 front.......better...?

Anything different in handling between the two combos...?

Looks...?

Functionally no, aesthetically the rear will look odd in comparison to the front as there will be more side wall up front.

I think staggered looks good, you just have to make sure the rake is right. What size tires are you planning on running front/rear. It does look weird if the front sidewall is taller than the rear, but you can change the tire profile to address that.

345 in the rear. Gonna widen the rear rims 1.5 inches so they are 12 inches wide. Use a spacer and get ARP wheel studs.

Front for the 9.5 rims.......I was planning on 275's up front.

What combo of tire sizes will have the side walls closest to the same as possible if I went with 18 rear/17 front....?
