Default Torque thrust II's 17" or 18" with prokit????

So I have been debating on whether to get 18x9 & 18x10 or the 17x9 & 17x11. I have eibach prokit springs on my car and I am worried that if I get the 18" rims that the tires will rub? I would also be willing to buy 18x9 all around if that would work. I just think the 18" rims look alot better. So any imput from you guys would be very helpful!

I had prokit on mine with the 11's and sumitomo 315s.. Pulled out of the driveway and ripped a chunk out of the tire lol...

Rolled the fender lips, and it never touched again, even in INTENSE cornering ..

So just roll the fenders and your fine ..

I didn't think TTII 18's came in 18x9. Thought they were only 18x10 and 18x8.
