17x8 & 17x10.5 strange combination?

orangestang42 · August 11th, 2011, 02:21 PM

Well i recently figured out that my two front rims are 17x8 so i am now running 17x10.5 in the back, is anybody else running this setup? and will i be alright running this setup? I thought they were 9 inches wide but apparently they are 8.... input appreciated

thanks

As long as the tires are the right size for the rims then you are fine

8" means the wheels wont rub on the front lower control arms like 8.5 or 9" would.

Stick with the tire sizes stated above by mr Orangestang 42 and you will be sorted
