Default rims and tires?

So I got my rims and tires picked out for the most part. I'm getting the Torque Thrust II wheels, and Toyo Proxxis 4 tires. I'm just wondering what size I should get for the rims. I want to stagger them, I know 17x8's are going in the front, I don't know what I want/can fit in the back. I was thining 17x9.5's, but I read somewhere that someone put 17x11's in the back, is that even possible? If it is I want to do that, what do you all think? Also going to get a dana 60, with either 3.73, or 4.10 gearing.

People put 24's on camaro's, I'm sure 17's would be fine.

Excellent choice of rubber and wheels. I would think 17x9 would be a good size. Having bigger tires and wheels on the rear is nice, but if you want to rotate your tires you wont be able to interchange the rear set with the front set.

plus, if the tires are directional, you cannot rotate at all.

I made that mistake with my tires. I have thesame size rims all around,
but got bigger tires in the rear. They are directional tires so if I want
to rotate them I have to remove the rubber off the rim. Pain in the ***.
