17x8 in front or 9?

[LarryStooge]

im getting 5zigen fno1r-c wheels in hyperblack.

I've found a place that sells them for 207 apeice for the 17X8s and the 17X9s are 217. all wheels get FREE shipping. So I'm in a debate (since its only 20 bucks more total) on whether to get 9s in front and do some seriously negative camber, or to just go with 8s up front. I'm worried about tire wear, but I have a tire hook up, so I get good tires super cheap. I'd like opinions from people running 8s or 9s in front. If your not, please dont reply with contemplations. Thanks for help from anyone who can help me decide which to go with.

Get the 8's. 9's are just unecessary for the front. So are 8's though so i suppose it's up to you.

no need for 9s in the front, unless u did a b20 vtec head with a t78 and fwd, then maybe, otherwise.....no

9's would most likely require fender flares also....what are the offsets?

nope, just some negative camber, nitekids has 9s in the front and they fit flush. he stretched 215s on them too, im shooting for 225s all around if theyll clear the springs. the offset is +25mm.

dont know, i didnt ask. im pretty sure its on either all 5zigen wheels, or all wheels period.

i think its wheelmax, which is advertised in every magazine ever printed, so not posting here wont save much

well you thought wrong, cuz wheelmax charges 221 per wheel and i dotn beleive it comes with free shipping either.

[quiksilvia]

well you thought wrong, they do free shipping with 2 warehouses to serve you!!!

THE BATTLE OF WITS HAS BEGUN!

Anyways.....

I'm going to go with 8 on the front and 8.5 or 9 on the rears. Is it a particular look you are going for to have the front's so wide (wheel and tire)? I like the classic FR tire width layout (smaller up front wider in rear). Should be good for stock power or decent power. Should keep the car nice and balanced. Of course I don't know how you look at your car being applied. I think 9 is a little overboard for the fronts and may becomea hinderance depending on what your looking to do with it.

17x9 with 22mm offset can clear the front with coilovers and no fender flare. you just have to run 3 degree of negative camber and 215/40 tires.
