I am thinking about 17x8s for the front and 17x9.5 for the rear. Can I see some pics of some of your guy's 17s on a third gen. If you would please include your backspace wheel specifications please.

CLick the link for the GTA in my sig. it has 17x8.5" all around. I dont know the backspacing. I bought them used off some guy who actually had them for a Jaguar. And Even though they are only 8.5" wide they fill out the wheel wells pretty good

Thanks, you are right , those rims look right at home on the GTA. I may just go 17x8s all the way arond, but I thought the wider ones on the back would look a little more agressive. I am thinking about Centerline's Dagger wheels.

Here's a pic of mine.

I have 17x8 in front with a 4.5" backspacing and 17x9.5 in the rear with a 5.5" backspacing. I have absolutely no rubbing anywhere. The wheels are Boyd Coddington "Shrike." More pics can be seen here.
