Default Gauging intersted... Trade my 18x9 smoothie 2s w tires for 17x11 tt2s...

im not 100% set on this. But i'd like some wider wheels in the rear, so im curious of what kind of offers I can get. My wheels are in excellent shape with 90% tread left on the bfg tires. Anyone have a set of TT2s with 11s in the rear for trade?
Heres a few pics..

9s are pretty damn skinny. I prefer 11s bc of the look, not for racing. And the exhaust does sound different, just not as much as I thought it would. Its a deeper/better sound IMO. I'd love to keep the smoothie 2s and just get a wider pair for the rear, but IIRC nineball told me the widest they make is 10in. and these wheels are pretty damn expensive + the cost of wide 18 in tires would be hella expensive. So Im not sure if it would be worth it.

You're car looks sweet just the way it is. What springs do you have? We are gonna lower ours and like the way yours sets.

the car is lowered with sportlines...
and I LOVE these wheels, but I also love the look of 315 tires. Makes the car look much more agressive.

you can only see the tires from the back and LOW if you want to see 11 inch tires...its much better the look from the side then low in the back IMO

Its actually not that bad. I thought sportlines/true duals would suck, but you just have to go slower over some stuff/go around some things. Dont get me wrong. I've scraped on alot, but its worth it IMO.
