I want to run 17" frnot and 18" rear wheels on my car, I'm going to drop the coin on them this week some time once I make a choice.
I want 17x7 fronts with 245/45/17's and 18x9 rears with 275/40/18's
What backspacing should I get" 4.5" front and 5" rear??

Here's what I'm thinkin, the Rocket Racing Booster wheel (painted silver) 17x7 front with 4.25" backspacing and 18x9 rear with 5.25" backspacing.
Will those backspaces work?

How bout a 235/50/17 front and 255/45/18 rear?
17x7 front and 18x8 rear
the rear size, that's all I could figure out/find that isn't ridiculously expensive!

I'm about to drop coin on these wheels. The sizes above, fronts are 4.25" backspacing and the rears are 4.75" backspacing.
Will that work?

just hold out and do the research before impulse buying......dont buy a different size cause tires are cheaper......buy them because its the right size/look desired.......the price difference will be pennies for your happiness overall
