It all depends if you want the ability to rotate tires, or not rotate them and have some big tire out back.

with 17X9.5's theres no rubbing when you lower it. youll have to do some work if you lower with 11 inch on the rear.

9.5's if youre not gonna mod it much. 11's if you plan on modding it more, especially if youre a m6

Definately go with the 17x11's out back.

9.5's look like pizza cutters.

If you don't need the 11s it's just more a hassle for looks I say keep 9 till you need the 11s.

I have 9.5 all the way around, and I am pleased, less weight, I can rotate them, and 275 tires are cheaper than 315's. although I LOVE the 315 tires, so freakin badass looking, if I had more money I would go with those...

315's look on our cars.

Throw some D's on it!!

No, I have the 11's and I love them, however it sucks buying tires for them and you can't rotate which def. sux.

but they make for a cool burnout and it makes your car look mean!!

Definitely get 11s in the back... I am surprised noone has whored out their car yet!





I have different tires on there now...rest is the same though.

You'll regret it if you only went with 9.5's in the back!

Couldnt agree with ya more, sure it might take some work to get the to fit if lowered, but you really cant disagree with how AMAZING 315+ tires in the rear makes our car look good. I just bought my rims and Im waitin for 'em in the mail and my car is a DD.
