I'm probably gonna get a set of 4 17x11 TT2's...
How ya like them if ya do?
I've read about some of the modification... modification to chassis/components is nothing new for me.
Pics would be sweet as well!
Thanks!

I'm not on frrax, i browse a lot though.. but I think they hide a lot of forums now to guests.
I want to run wide on the street for extra handling.. I REALLY love hugging turns at or below the posted speed limit.
I have a drag race car that is built all out for the straights, and another vehicle I can daily drive as well.. so this car I'd like to build for some great handling..
It looks like there is a buyer for my current wheels so that will kinda force me to go witha new set rather soon, or else I'd procrastinate forever.. I'll have to post some pics when its finaly put together.

Thats the big tire for skinny tire people thread right? I've read that.. many times. If I recall I have to shave a little bit of the spindle and some of the plastic fender well in front, no biggie.

Ok, my next question guys.
I'm looking at two sets of wheels on all 4's..
17x11 TT2's
17x10.5 TTM's <-- I just love the flat lip!
I want to run 315 tires all around..
What difference will I notice with 315's on a 17x10.5 vs 17x11's?? Handling/rolling??
I'm guessing I'll have a little more curb protection due to the tire sticking out a little bit.. but will the tire want to roll more on hard cornering?
Thanks!
