depends on cost.. if its below 450 for all 4 wheels- do it.. if not, don't do it.

grab some USED aggressive offset wheels and when i come down to socal for torc, i'll bring my fender roller + heat gun and you can have yr way with yr fenders.. LOL

in terms of looks, imo I think that center cap kills it, if you roll without that center cap it may look alright, but that's just me though.

dont forget if you run a wider rim you might need to run a thicker tire to cover up some gap in the back. Unless your on coilovers.

Make sure you run an aggressive offset up front Ferg, rear you can't play with too much since 9" is wide.

yeah im actually debating if i really want to run a sort of staggered fitment.

i might just stick with 17x8 all the way around.

Brian, whats the offset on your wheels?

You might be better off just running 17x8 all around,
and different offsets front and rear.
That's probably what I would do.
Trust me, I'm a technician.
