The 17x11 wheels will fit in the back without hammering.

what size rims and tires are you running
that looks sick
do you have a shortened rear end or is it stock
because i saw pics of 315 with an lt1 and they are sticking out quite a bit
what is your offset on those rims

Those were 17x11 that were widen 1'' by a wheel company to make 17x12. Tire size was 315 switched to a 335. Normal tt2 offset is 7.75

Here is the best shot I have of the back with a normal tt2


My new wheels are 17x12 with less backspacing to go with a narrowed rear end and they sit about 1/4'' outside the fender according to my measurements.

Oh well thats because that was the stock length rear-end with the set of tt2's that were made for a narrowed rear.. They stuck out huge, once I put the S60 in it was all better.




Not sure on the time, Still breaking in the S60 will hit the track by july though.

ok just to make sure those last pics were 335 tires with a stock rear end
and 315's fit fine without sticking outside the fender
