17X8 or 17X9

akshun1000 · June 9th, 2007, 08:31 PM

Hey guys I'm still trying to find the right rims, and I'm thinking of just keeping the tires I already have. I need to know how can I tell if I have 17X8's or 17X9"s or does it really matter when ordering rims. Still a newbie as you can see, but I'm trying lol.....thanks fellas

What size tires do you have?

akshun1000 · June 9th, 2007, 08:40 PM

you can use either size rim

i would do the 9 inch rims though.

you can use a bigger tire down the road

Thanks alot I appreciate it, you guys still have 17"s or did you go bigger? I wanted to go bigger but after reading many of the posts I think I'd be better off sticking with the 17"s and just getting the lowering springs. What do you think?
