well they have alot of different wheel styles for TT2's
but i went and searched my car on the site and it came up with these specs for the TT2's Product Number: VN50579563 Size: 17x9.5 Product Description: Fully polished Backside Spacing (in/mm): 7/178 Offset: 45.72mm Recommended accessories Center Caps: Included Now, what is the max size tire i can run with the 17x9.5? |

can i run a 245/50/17 on this rim aswell? and run 275/45's on the rear, or do you suggest i go bigger?
edit, i found this size TT2 for the car for the rear, part # 505-71163 size 17x11 offset 45 backsize 7 3/4 bolt circle 5-4 3/4 for 93-on Camaro/Firebird is backsize the same as backspacing, i want the rears to have a decent size lip on them.. |
You wont be able to run 17x11's in the front. You'll have to stagger the wheel size, meaning using two 17x11's for the rear and two 17x9.5's in the front. A 245/50 wont fit on an 11 inch rim.

Alot of people including myself use this combo :
17X10.5 or 17 X 11 Rear 45 mm offset 5 X 4.75 Bolt Pattern 315/35/17 Rear Tire 17 X 9 or 17 X 9.5 Front 44 mm offset 5 X 4.75 Bolt Pattern 275/40/17 Front Tire |
a 245-50-17 is a tall tire to run on the front of an fbody. a 245-45-17 would fit better, or a 275-40-17. for the rear, i would suggest a 275-40-17 as well or 315-35-17 if you plan to run an 11" wide wheel back there.

i currently have 245/50/17s on the stock rims all around my car now, and everything is fine.
thanks all for the help ill keep you posted. im going with the 17x9.5 front and the 17x11 rear edit: went out and checked my fronts, 245/50/16s |
