Default Offset of TT2 17x9.5 vs stock TA wheel

I want my tires to stick out of the wheel well more than the current stock 245/40-16's do on a 2000 T/A (non-WS6). Can anyone tell if/how much going to the TT2 17x9.5 wheels with 275/40's would bring out the tires? Looks like +46mm offset on the TT2's?

I absolutely love the look of 11s in back, but not willing to do the BFH mod nor roll fenders. Seems there may be some benefits of using the same wheel/tire all around for rotating, too? Comments?

TIA, and LOVE the site!!!!!

Should be a notciable difference over OEM 16" wheels. The OEM 17" wheels are 50mm, so the TT2 will move outwards anouther 4mm . . . every little bit counts!

I assume I'll get 4mm PLUS half of the difference between the stock (8"?) wheel and the 9.5" wheel of the TT2. Schweet!

they will definately stick out. i think you will really like the look. i have 56mm offset and they sit tucked in, so i kno 46mm will definately be out there

Promise you, they won't stick out, I have 38mm offset 9.5" wide wheels and they do not stick out . . .
