I'm looking to buy some new wheels and tires. My intention is to get the widest wheel possible on the rear without having to make any kind of modifications beyond spacers. I would also like to get some black rims for contrast with my white paint.

I was considering the following rims, which are 9" wide and relatively inexpensive and good looking:

I like these rims, but I would really like a width of 10.5" for the rear. I am also hoping to put some Nitto NT-555R drag radials on whatever rims I decide on. Can someone give me an idea of what my options are? I am also having trouble deciding on the diameter of the rim, 17" or 18". Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

After all this time, I wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. I ordered my wheels from MustangTuning.com.

Here's a few pictures:

Excellent - I was looking at 17 x 9s all the way around in the same wheel, but that looks fantastic! Great job!
