Default How do i get that deepdish look with Torque thrusts..

I have a blk T/a and i wanna put 17x9.5 and 17x10.5 in the rear chrome but i want that deep dish look for the front and rear, how do i pull off such a work of art =D? does it have to do with the tire width's or is it have to do with offset? does any1 have info on this (tire sizes for these rims sizes )and maybe a pic to go along with it? Thanks very much guys.

they come in 17x9.5 and 17x11 in the rear. i dont really understand your question but you will want to go with the 17x11 in the rear for sure with a 315/35/17 tire.

TTM rears are 10.5" and are deep dish but the fronts are 9" and not as deep.

The Deep dish look you are wanting has to do with the wheel offset its self. The problem with putting a wheel with a large lip on your car is that the wheels will likely stick out too far. The only way to really get a deep dish wheel on the back of your car would be to get a narrowed rear differential. I'm not sure what kind of offsets you can achieve with torque thrusts, but I know if you are wanting a very large and noticable lip, you will likely need custom wheels as well as a narrowed diff. Now you can put a wheel with a slight lip on your car and there are many people that have done it. Find some people with wheels you like and ask them for their offset specs.

The way they are, are the way they are.... You cant change it other then getting a different rim. Just get the TTM and be done with it. They look nice. Rear pic of mine.

if i got tt2's 17x9.5 with a 275/40/17 and 17x11 in the rear with 315/35/17 then the tire in the rear would have a smaller diamater and would mess things up no?
