You can get either 17 x 9, 17 x 10.5, or 18 x 10.

For the 18 x 10, the widest tire for it would be a 285/35/18. Wheel backspacing would be 6.38 inches or 22mm offset.

The 17 x 9 would be a 275 tire, 5.85 inch or 24mm offset.

The 17 x 10.5 would be 315 tire, 6.85 inch or 28mm offset.

This doesn't mean you can put these size tires on and not have rub, you'll be advised to keep the front to no more than a 245 in front.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.
