TT2 Rim Question

I am not sure if this is the correct board to post on, so if the mods feel they need to move it, please do so. With that aside, I was planning on purchasing American Racing TT2 rims, however I was not sure if there was any advantage to having all wheels 17 x 9.5, on all 4's, or if it would be better for the car 17 x 8 in the front, and 17 x 9.5 in the rear. I know stock the back wheels are bigger than the front...is there an advantage to this at all? Thanks

I've been doing searches, and I heard of others using 9.5's all around, and they claim that there is not any problems.

I'm running some 4th gen Firehawks, 17 x 9.5 all 4 corners, no rubbing problems except at full suspension compression. need an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear. Oh yeah, my car is dropped an inch.
