17x8 or 17x9

if you were to buy new wheels today for your taco(gen1 or gen2), would you be interested in 17x8 or 17x9, given both sizes are available with the proper backspacing. also note if you prefer stock bs(slightly tucked in), fender flush look, or the aggressive stance with minimal bs.

if you view this thread, just vote in the poll. there's no right or wrong answer, i just want to know what you prefer.

 

I like the aggressive stance and i love the look of a fat foot print so id go with the 17x9

 

Depends on the the tire size. the 8" wide works for 265's, while the 9" may not be approved for that size, depending on the tire manufacturer.

 

3.2.1 the tire man. KPT Knows tires & wheels

 

I went with the 8 inch because I went with 265's--I read on here (or somewhere) that 9 inch wheels were too wide for 265's.

Anyways, the 8's worked out really good and I like the stance, my tires are just outside the edge of my fenders:

 

that looks really good! i like that look. so that's 17x8 with 4.5" BS?

 

Yea.

 

16's.

 

17x9, I like the wide stance..

 

keep it coming guys.

 

I like a wide aggressive stance.

 

17x9 with 285's

 

I wanted that exact set up. Ballistics with GY. Looks nice.

 

Are you on stock suspension, I will be installing some 17x8 Pro Comp steelies with a 4.5" backspace but had to get some 1.25" spacers to avoid rubbing.

 

Aggressive wide stance FTW!

 

No, I've got 5100's set to 1.75 in front and TSB springs in rear. And I still got a slight rub on the right side when I'm fully locked to the left.

 

thanks for the feedback guys, keep them coming.

 

To do what?

If you wheel, a narrower wheel holds a bead better. That's an important consideration.

Otherwise, if it's just looks, fuck it.

 

all depends on tire size. Can't answer if you don't specify tire size.

 

my question and poll is about what you would choose if you were to buy new wheels. this is just research for me. i want to see what guys are currently using or what they plan to use.
