Staggered advice please

I currently have my stock Mach 1 rims and have saved up enough to buy the staggered versions of my OEM rims. I found that AmericanMuscle sells a 17/9 deep dish but a different company sells 17/10.5. Financially it's going to be more expensive to go with the larger 10.5s so id like to know what you guys would do or if I should just stay with stock. Thank You

The 10.5's would look a lot better than the 9's. I would get the 10.5's. You'll probably regret not getting them later on if you go with the 9's.

Are you doing this change for looks only? If so, you might like the 17 x 10.5 size in the rear as compared to the 17 x 9. Visually, you will fill out the wheel well more. However, you might get some tire rub when the suspension compresses because of the width of the tire you might be using on that wheel.

Unfortunately, we know longer carry the Mach 1 replica wheel. If I were you, I would think about just getting your rear wheel's widened to whatever width you want! This will insure that your Rims still match and will allow you to throw a larger tire on there.

I actually got the wheels on my Mach 1 widened to 10.5 in the rear and put a 315/35/17 on there! This is just my opinion, any of these options will work out for you. Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future!

Something to think about. Your larger tires are VERY limited in the 17" diameter. Think about 18's instead. I know they arent stock size, but tire choices are far greater in the 18's, than the 17's.
