If you're going with 17x9.5 all the way around, the lip will be the same on all 4 wheels.

Its 3/4 of an inch at most in 17x9.5. Too weak for me.

The 10.5" wheel has a larger lip, maybe he thought you were referring to those?

yeah i get what your saying but the thing is i asked the guy point blank if the 9.5in wide wheels were diff between the front and the back and he said yeah that i would notice a diff between the fronts and the back but its no big deal really cause heck the guy is human everyone makes mistakes i know i do so im not gonna hold that against the guy considering on how bad i needed wheels
