Anyone running a 17"x8" (4.5" backspacing) front, and 17"x9" (5.5" backspacing) rear? What size rubber to use for a good look and that won't rub the wells? Suggestions on manufacturer would help. I plan on using either Baer or MP brakes front and rear (12" rotors).

I just did a search and found some answers. This post can probably be deleted unless someone has good info to pass. Thanks

I am in the same process. What info did you find? I am also interested in going to 18’s. My El Co has a full Hotchkis kit F&R.
