Default Just got the TT2s on my 99 SS

I just wanted to post up a few pictures of my 99 SS since I've put my Torque Thrust 2s on it. I will try to get some better pictures of the side view of the car tomorrow. I had to take these tonight so the quality isn't as good as a daytime picture. First off, I ordered the wheels from Tomz's Wheels, and if you guys are trying to decide on who to order rims from, don't hesitate to order from them. They have great customer service and they are very quick to reply to emails. I got the tires from discount tire direct, and they were very helpful, and the tires arrived on time, just like they said, same with the wheels. So, I ordered a 17x9.5, 17x11 polished set for my SS, with nitto 555 R street tires for the front, and nitto drag radials for the back. When fitting the TT2s, I had to grind the inner part of the caliper bracket that was closest to the hat of the rotor. The rim rubbed on this. After about 5 minutes of grinding, they fit like a charm. I had to remove maybe 1/8" of material. I am very happy how they looked once I got them on the car. I am glad I chose this rim. I have had 2 sets of BFG tires, the kdw and kdws. As far as ride quality and noise level goes, the nittos win hands down. A great tire, that gives an extremely smooth ride.

Looks great
For some reason the back sits lower then the front (maybe its just the angle of the pic)
I would lower the front of the car some.

Thanks for the compliments. I've thought about springs, but I'm worried about clearance with my true duals. I really like the clearance I have now. I don't have to be on the look out for every little dip in the road now, and I like that.

Those wheels look amazing on your car. Makes me wanna start saving up for a set. Cant decide on whether I want a cam or wheels first. Nice car btw, looks awesome.
