Don't run 7" front if you are running 9" rear.

As far as tires, do a search.

use the money you were going to spend on wheels and tires and buy some real performance shocks. if your stock ones haven't blown yet, they will soon.

i don't see the point in stagering at all, let alone two inches. just get some 17x8 with 235/45/17 and call it a day.
