Those look nice. Go 17x8 in front and 17x10 in the back. Or 17x9 up front. I'm getting a set of 17x9 SS 10-spoke wheels for my car in the next few days...whenever I get some tires mounted on my winter rims and can trade my stockers off for the 10spokes

I have 17x9.5 on the front with 275/40s. It needed a 5/16 spacer. I think most rims are 17x9 though - not too many 9.5s around.
You can put 17x11s on the rear with 315s and a minor BFH modification.

18's ,get some big rims . Im glad i went with 18s. If i woulda got 17s i woulda been unhappy . I went with the 18s because too many cars now have 17s from the factory , and i like to go to car shows so the bigger rims look a little better , i think.
