hey guys looking at getting tt2's for my seabring silver ss and powdercoating them black..I searched and not many are running 18's tt2's or 9.5 wheels, so I wanted to ask what backspacing would work on these wheels, thanks for any help

from what i understand....you have to special order the 18 inch TT2s...thats what i have on my car. i bought them used, but i hear thats the only way to get them. not sure on the backspacing, and mine are 10.5 inch all the way around.

yeah the 18x10.5's or anything bigger than 18x9.5 are on there..so youre probably right about having to custom order the ones you have..so does anyone have an idea as to what will work

They're listed on there but i'm pretty sure you have to have them made. They only have the 17x9.5 and 17x11 on the shelves basically. At least thats what TOMZ told me back when he was open.

Kyle, yours are probably 18x10.

The most common 18in tt2s for our cars are 18x8 and 18x10.

measured them when they were off the car, they are 10.5. they have 295 width tires on them now, and its a semi-tight fit.

Measure the inner beads.

ah idk, i measured the wheel itself when the tire was off. inner lip to outer lip, 10.5 inches. when i bought them, they were advertised as a 10.5 width wheel. ordered 315s for them, so i sure hope they fit!

That's not how you measure a wheel. Measure a 17x11 wheel(from te outer lip, instead of the inner beads) And it'll prob come closer to 12inches wide. Even the face of the wheel will measure more than 17in.

gordo thanks for the heads up any idea on backspacing used or maybe the guys with 18x9.5s can chime in and tell me what they are using

Talk to discount tire... They'll know what to get you.

With a 18 x 9.5 you want around a +45 offset.
You could go with a +38 offset, but you might need to roll the rear fender lips.

FYI, wheel width is measured from inner/inner lip.
