Re: Vadriven, help me pick the color of my new wheels!
Thanks, I've been saving for 11 years. My 87 Celica died right after I made the decision to get a new one. It was like it was saying, "Rob, you've been good to me. Be good to something else."

The other setup is to go 9 wide all the way around with the same offset and a spacer in the rear so I can rotate my tires.

If you want fitment options in the back, use spacers or different offset. A wider wheel in the rear will look really silly, especially to anyone who knows what they're looking at (which will be the same people who care about fitment).
