Question TT2's in a 17x8 & 17x9.5 combos? ANYONE??

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone out there has any pics of 4th gen F-bodies with torque thrust 2's in a 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.5 combo. I know the prefered combo is normally the 17 x 9.5 and 17 x 11 but I dont want to have to cut or compromise my bump stops and have to roll my wheel well lip in the back to keep from rubbing. I also have Eibach pro kit springs all the way around. I am also only sold on the TT2 wheels, they look HELLA cool on the F bodies and I found a great deal on this combo ($740.00 + $70.00 for shipping). I was looking at a 245/45/17 up front on the 8's and 275/40/17 or 285/40/18 on the 9.5's. If there is anyone out there with this combo I would also like to know what offset / backspacing is best for the 8 & 9.5 combo. Thanks in advance for any replies.

on AR's site it has a listing for the available BS on the sizes for our cars. Why not go 9.5 on all 4? Just wondering

Talking

I could go 9.5 all the way for 800.00 and I could be able to rotate. I just wanted to fill the rear well up with a staggered size / offset. I guess I could go with all 9.5's and get 2 different offsets and backspacing. I still couldnt rotate but I would gain the steering / handling with the 9.5's up front too. I still would like to see some pics of 8's and 9.5's , or 9.5's all the way too. I have the money for the wheels and tires and I would like nothing more than to surprise myself with a new set of TT2's aroud X-Mas. LOL
