I Picked up some used wheels & tires My WS6 had std TA wheels with all season winter tires on them when I bought it a month ago. So I have been looking around for replacements. I picked up a used set of TT2's a couple of days ago, hoping they will fit up. With tires on them it is a little hard to figure offset and back spacing, but I took some rough measurements on the rears, since they are my biggest concern. The rears are 11x17 w/ 315/35 NT05 tires. The back spacing looks to be about 8in +/- an 8th. and the offset eye balled at 45-50mm. The fronts should be ok, 9.5x17 w/ 275/40 NT05. I'm going to have to put some real street tires on them before I can use them, because this is my daily driver and the NT05 doesn't look like much of a rain tire. LOL I'll probably sell the Nittos to someone that can use them. I plan to do some fittings when I get a warm day and have some time.

I didn't think a pic of wheels sitting in the garage floor would add much worth, since everyone knows what they look like already. After I get them installed I'll post a before and after pic.

The wheels did come equipped with one oddity, flush air valves. I'd never seen any before and of course the tool needed to check/add air was conveniently not included. I guess I need to scout around to see it they are available without buying another set of valves, that I'm not going to use anyway.
