Default What size wheel would you go with: 21x9 or 21x10.5

Have my mind set on the Niche Essen 21" wheels, but undecided on the width - 9" vs. 10.5". Which would you go with? Both should fit fine, right? What are the pros and cons to each? Thanks for your input!

mind if i ask why you suggest that? from your answer i gather it's no problem fitting a 10.5 wide wheel, so why not go 10.5 on all sides? from what i've heard it's somewhat "improper" to go staggered on an AWD...

cons with the 10.5 would be the additional wheel weight, most noticeable during acceleration and braking, fuel efficiency
