I'm running 11.5" +63 and its a bit more aggressive then id prefer but is necessary to get the width tire I run to fit. I think 11 +60 would be too aggressive if you want the ability to fit a 295/30 on the back which not only seems to have more tire options in a better performance bracket, but is just better with your power level, and why not if your going to the trouble to go custom already. It would also be the ideal pair for a 255 up front. Id go with a 11" +65 if I were you.

17x8 +50mm fronts 225/45/17 Yokohama AD08R's
17x9 +60mm rears 255/40/17 Yokohama AD08R's

Dropped on Eibach 30mm springs

Plus some nice AP's hiding behind them :P

nice fitment for a BBK and with out a lot of fender work. tad conservative for my personaltaste, but i don't have AP brakes behind my wheels either. and i also like aggressive set ups
