Default rebels

I was wondering if it was possible to get the rebels in 17x9 and a 17x10? Everywhere I call they tell me I have to go 18's to get a mismatch set.

yep they only come 17x9 with a 24mm offset in the 17 inch size. the 18s have a few more options. kinda stupid if you ask me to make a wheel that comes in only one offset, it seriously limits the market to sell to, but oh well what are you gonna do? badass looking whells too IMO.

Thinking about it, I put the cam and tune and felt like i needed a wider tire in the back. It's hard to let em go though.

If your ditching your wheels in favor of some wider wheels for traction you may end up disappointed. I had 17x9 ZR1's with 275 Nittos on them before I got some 17x11 Boyd Rebels (Not AR Rebels) with 315 BFG KD's, and I still tear these loose at 30.. I mean worthless grip, and you're making more power than me.

I can probably put some pics up this weekend. My buddy hill_ss had the same problem on his charged car, he put 315's in the back (toyo proxes t1s) and he did a lot better.
