Default 10.5" Axis Hiro in the rear or 9.5"?

I can get either at almost the same price. Which is better?

I do not want to rub.

10.5 with 275 tire will not rub. Looks better.

Wider is heavier and looks stupid if you are only going to stick a 275 on it which will fit easily on a 9.5".

The 9.5 has a little over 2" lip, the 10.5 has a little over 3" lip. The weight of the 8.5 , 9.5 and 10.5 are all within a 1 lb diff of each other

If your gonna do it correctly, do the 10.5" with a 285 or larger. 275 on a 10.5" looks stupid, and makes the sidewall stretch-I guess some members like that mid 80's VW Golf stretched rim look If you want to run 275's then the 9.5" will be just fine....

owned!

btw. if you go with BFG KDW-2 in a 275 it will not have that much of a stretched look cause they have a bit more sidewall then toyos plus they look badass. the 10.5 will also look much more flush with your fenders then the 9.5 giving it a more wide aggressive look. i debated this but I trusted what Chris at F1 told me. He said the 10.5" looked soooo much better then a 9.5" wheel. If you ever resale your wheels the 10.5's would be a bit more desirable to most people.

oh another thing, you might wanna give Chris at F1 a call. You might be able to pick up a set of Volks for not that much more then your paying for your hiro's. They are running a blowout sale on their inventory. I just got a set of DB GT7's from him.
