Default 17x11 or 17x12????

A while back I was looking at sending my Fikse's back to have them widened to a 17x11. Well since they went under I called Forgeline and their price to widen them is a lot cheaper so I may be able to get them done faster than I thought.

But should I get them Widened to 11's or go to 12's?? I know the tire choice for 12's would be VERY limited. But I could run a new 28 inch tall Toyo like Trust did or run a 315 that may look a little stretched.

What do you guys think?

man... tough choices...
economically i'd choose the 17x11. more tires, cheaper too.
but the gear head in me says go 17x12 and invest in those new toyo's.
can't look any more bad than that! trust's car looks ridiculously hot.

Yeah I know what you mean. A 315/35 will still fit on a 17x12 but it is stretched a bit and I don't know if I would like that.

Trusts old car had 17x12s and MT 315s on it before the big toyos and they didnt look stretched. If you're gonna run a 26" tire, go with the 17x11 and save the money.

You can also run the 335/35/17 Hoosiers with the 17x12.
