Need Some Input.... 9" all around or staggered I am about to order my rims from tomzwheels. Here is my thought process..
Should i get 2 @ 17X9 and 2 @ 17X10.5 for the staggered and get for the 9" rim 275 and for the 10.5" rim get 2XX or 3XX???
or
should i get 17X9 all around wrap them with a 275 tires so that i can rotate them?
How do you guys feel about not beinbg able to rotate tires?
And i am thinking of going with BFG G-Force or KDW tires too
Thanks

go wider ouot back for sure looks sooo cool and depending on what wheel you get its sometines worth it to stagger the size fromt to back 17 front 18 rear thats what i did. but def at least get bigger in the rear run a 305 and you should be safe

I guess for a DD you may just as well go with the 9s all around.
However to get that great 'performance' look that many have here you will want to go with the 9s in front and 10.5s in back. In this case, as I'm sure the ppl at Tomz will recommend, go with 275s front and 295s back.

why not just save up a little longer and get 1.5 sets of wheels? get the 9" all the way around for normal everyday driving, and a set of two 10.5" wheels for the back with drag radials/slicks for when you want/need the extra traction?

Definitely like the staggered look as well. Once you've seen it on the car you won't want the same size all the way around. You can rotate side to side...just make sure you have your directional tires going the right way...common sense.
