I've got 17x8's on the back of mine and they fit great, tire wise i believe it's overall 10" or something, it's stuffed

What BS and sizes do you have Front and rear? I was going to go with
- Front; 17x7 x 4.25 BS with 225/50/17 rubber
- Rear ; 17x8 x 5.0 BS with 255/50/17 rubber

Finally got the wheels on...

Foose Nitrous Legends
Front 17x7 (4.5 BS) with Falken ZE512 (235/55/17)
Rear 17x8 (5 BS) with Falken ZE512 (255/55/17)

Lots of room no rubbing or fitment issues at all.

I have pics but not sure how to post them?
