18s and narrower or 17s and wider?

what would you do?
18x8 front, 18x9.5 rear
or
17x9.5 front and 17x9.5 rear (maybe 17x11 rear)

Well, I don't like to fat of tires in the front, but as wide as possible in the back without sticking out the fender well. With that said, I'd say go for the 18's.

All around the same.

Tas,
I suggest that it be the same on all 4 corners no matter which way you go. The handling won't be compromised.
I made that mistake years ago with my Plymouth.
