Question 17 by 9 or 10.5

I want ttm's anthracite-sp? color...
I am not lowered
I like the rear lip on the 10.5 and would like it all four corners
Will 10.5 clear with not mods/rubbing issues..?
Or should i do 9 on all 4 corners?

screw rotating them man..... wouldnt you rather the car look 10 times better than being able to rotate them? having the deeper wheel in the back with a 315 owns the regular look..... but do what you really want cause its your car

take a look at the other threads going on right now.

I posted pics of my anthricate ttms 17x9 all around, and another member posted the same with 10.5's in the rear.

Check em out, then decide for yourself

Get the 10.5 out back and the 9 in the front. Your gonna want to put some good healthy $$ tires on the back and some cheaper ones just for the front. I'm gonna buy new rims soon and put wide tires out back with nittos.

I do not believe the 10.5" TTM's fit up front . . . So if you want four wheels the same sizes the 17" x 9.5" is your only choice.
