Question 7.5 or 8.5 wheels on the rear

Just about to purchase OEM M Double Spoke 17' wheels (Style 68).....can anyone convince me that 17 x 8.5 on the rear looks THAT much better? Im leaning toward getting all 4 in 17 x 7.5 to avoid having 2 different types of tires for the car.....Thanks for any input.

My car came setup with the 8.5s in the rear from the factory. I can't tell any difference from the 7.5s in the front.

I am not sure this is about looks though. Its probably performance related, but I wouldn't know what staggering it like that does. (understeer, oversteer, ?)

I'd get the 7.5s if that is what you want.
