New wheel width decision

I'm ordering new wheels and tires and the tires I'm ordering are 255/35-20 for the front and 285/30-20 for the rear. What wheel size will give me the best look?

Default New wheel width decision

I'm ordering new wheels and tires and the tires I'm ordering are 255/35-20 for the front and 285/30-20 for the rear. What wheel size will give me the best look? I guess these are my choices:

9" front 10" rear
10" front 11" rear
9" front 11" rear

I'm leaning toward the 9"-10" package.

ideally for 255 you'll want 9.5" front and for rear 10.5" for 285.

probably do 9 and 10 to be on the conservative side.

Looks like I was able to get a 10.5 for the rear, so that should be perfect with the 285's

Not lowering at this point. Being it's my DD I have a hard enough time getting around without scraping. I'm running 20 mm spacers all around now and like that, 20mm may even be just a bit much for the front. So shooting for 35 front and 15 rear offset. Eric @ getyourwheels is working on getting the offsets as close to what I want as possible.

Forgestar CF10's is what I've ordered

The front 245 tyre will be slightly tucked in (3 mm). The 285 rear tyre (not the rim) will stick out a bit (7 mm).

Not sure if you saw my thread just below yours.
