Default Need suggetsions for a 17X9 17X10 Set up

I really like the Boyd Smoothies gunmetal finish wheels (awsome deep dish look), but it looks like they dont make a 17X9 . Any other suggestions. I want to have 17X9 in the front and 17X10 in the back, since I bought some new Kumhos, 285/40/17. Would like that deep dish look in the back.

Also what's the widest is I can fit onto a 285/40/17 tire. A Set of ZR1s 17X11 would be sweet, but I think that might be to big for that tire. I have a 2002 Vert with a 1" drop.

Thanks Take Care

Hmmm...I don't know of a single manufacturer that makes the same rim in a 9" and a 10" wide version. Why not just run the Smoothies in 17x10 all around? It'll fit fine in the front, many people have done it.

A 9"-11" wide rim will fit 285. I'd only put a 9" or a 9.5" on though...for aesthetic reasons.

itll look some kind of goofy putting a 285 on an 11" rim. Been there....done that.
