Wait so you got 17x9.5 and 17x11s and you dont want them to be staggered? Then get the same size rim all the way around other wise do what cemlsx said 275s up front and 315s out back. For the drs size depends on whats done to the car so you need to give some info

I have a moser 9" and all the other suspension is basically stock. On the stock 16" wheels what's the widest and tallest tire I can fit?? Hope thts a little better.

And no I'm planning on buying wheels I will get the 11" if they can fit on the front and the back without rubbing with a 285-315 size tire. Get it? Sorry..

A 11" rim will probably rub pretty bad on the front. I had 275s on a 9.5 and they rubbed at full lock. For the dr you'll still not saying what's done to the car or what gears you have that all dictates the height of the tire. I run a 28x10.5 slick but you might not need something that tall

TSP lt's and true dual x pipe, moser 9" with 4.10 gears and a Detroit locker. Also an aluminum driveshaft. That's about it. There will be a lot more comming in the next few months but that's it for now.
