Questions about America Racing TT2 combo
« on: May 27, 2016 - 11:00:13 PM »
I'm looking at a set of AR TT2's.   17" Nothing crazy but want a good stance and look.   Front/Rear disc brakes,  Strange 60-stock length  rear with 2.5" offset.  Factory front brakes.  Back spacing ?,  should I go with neg/0/positive offset for this style rim.  The more I read this thread I get lost in all the combos.   Wanted 4.5" backspacing in the rear But don't show any on America Racing website-so I figured if you run 4.81 with neg 11 offset-that would equal about 4.38 backspacing. So here was the combo I was looking at running. Front 17x7 4.00 zero offset/BF G2 tire-235-45-R-17.  Rear 17x8 4.81 neg 11 offset/BF G2 tire 255-40-R17.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Depends on the look you are going for but I think you are going tooo skinny on the rubber.
I would put those 17x8 wheels with 255's on the front. Then buy a pair of 17x9 wheels and put 275 rubber on them for the rear.  :2cents:

They don't make a 17x9.  I would have to go custom.  They have a 17x9.5 with 6.28 bs with a crazy 28mm positive offset.
