Agree - 10" or 9" will spread out your tire a little more and that = better contact, more traction, better wear and that's a good thing in most cases.

I hate how the 35x12.5x17 looks on stock or 8" wheels.....It appears all ballooned out.

I had Pro-Comps 17x9 on my last 35s and was satisfied......

As soon as I can get some more cash my stock wheels are history.....

Both wheels would take 35x12.5 R16 or 315/75R16 tires right?
I have soft 8s, 17x 9 5x5 back spacing and no rubbing issues even aired down to 15 psi and I havent lost a bead yet at RC with 35x12.5x17 km2s
