The 10.5" would look goofy on swift sports, they don't drop the car enough and it would look like a monster truck. Even on my swift spec r's I'm worried about the 10.5" looking weird without dropping it a little more and adding some camber to the equation.

Yeah, I was leaning towards the spec r's for that reason. I was just hoping that adding more camber with the 10.5s, at least 2*/1.5* would get rid of the monster truck look.

10.5 look just isn't doin' it for me.. way too chunky.. maybe it's just the pics or the setup?
Is there any real world advantage to running 10.5 or is it just appearance, are you going to be able to get that much more grip over a 9.5?

^^Personally, I feel it depends on how big of a tire you want to run. No real point in getting a 10.5" rim if you are going to run something under a 275 tire.
I run the 9.5" on 265s and that seems plenty big for me. And if I wanted to go bigger on the tire, I could still get 275s on there if I wanted.
Much past 275 gets into some troubles with rubbing and fit, usually.
