Default Torque Thrust M

New season is just around the corner and i was wondering if anyone was having any problems, clearance wise with these 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear rims.

I've got 17x9 TTMs all around and they fit great. Don't know about the 10.5s.

If you going to get a 10.5 for the rear you can run a 315/35/17.

Since you're asking about 275s, makes me think you have 16s with 245/50s. In my opinion a 275/40-17 is a pretty meaty tire, when mounted on a rim it will just stand up on its own. They fit well with no modifications and I like to be able to rotate my tires. There is a member on here DAVE00 and he has the 10.5 TTMs with 315s, he told me he had to roll his fender lip for clearance but his car is also lowered.
Check out the sticky at the top, It's full of good info and pic's.

Yea, the car is stock height with 245/50s on it right now, no plans of ever lowering it but i am concerned about the amount of pot holes i have up here and i just want to put the widest possible tire in the rear without having to do any modifications to the body/car itself.

Default No Problems

I didn't have any problems and my Trans Am is pretty low with Eibach ERS springs in all four corners.
