Well, worst case you will need to pound a bit in the inner fenders and roll the fender lips. Possibly need to trim the bump stops (if you want to lift the car by the body without the wheels hanging) a little. More so if the car is lowered. Then you will benefit greatly from an adjustable PHR. I think some have had trouble with the TT2's rubbing on the front break caliper bracket also. Just get them, we will walk you through it if you need any help when you put them on.

I beg to differ on the spacers, if you get 7-3/4 backspace everything should be fine.

TomZWheels has the specific offsets for our cars...you will not need any spacers....at most, you'll have to hammer in the inner fender just a tad.

The rear offset on the 17x11 TTII's is +46mm, no spacers are needed... I'm lowered with bmr 1" springs & not using the rear spring insolators... I had to do absolutely nothing, bolted them up & haven't had a problem yet... I did however buy an adj rphb to center up the rear some.
