dont know what size to get TT2's?! Well, its about time to get some new wheels on my T/A, and I cant decide on a wheel size for the rear.
I dont know if I should just run 17x9.5" all the way around, or get the 17x11's in the rear.
For the guys that have them, does the improved looks/traction justify getting them, over not being able to rotate your tires?
Oh yea, Ill probably be lowered on Hotchkis springs, will I need to beat in my inner fender? Ill roll my fenders anyway, just in case...

If you go TT2's you must go with 11's in the back, if not it is worthless to buy'em IMO.
It improves looks a lot and traction a little, no need to roll your fenders with stock height, but if you decide to lower it you might gonna need to do it.

I vote 11's in the rear. It looks soo good, imo. I get compliments everywhere, and it screams muscle car from behind. I'm really glad I didn't go with the 9.5's
My Sumitomo's hook tons better than my 245 GS-D3's did, fwiw. I don't have experience with 275's though, so I can't compare those two, sorry.
Rotations don't bother me than much. With my last tires (the 245's), the rears wore out insanely faster than the fronts, so I figured I might as well just buy new rears, instead of having 2 worn tires on the front. If you think about it, the fronts don't really wear down too quick, unless you road race or do brake checks a lot. That was my reasoning, at least.

You don't need 11s to get good traction, most people do it for the looks. You will have a bigger selection on tires with a 9.5 wheel. It really comes down to the look of the 315s, not everyone likes them, but alot do. You have to decide if you like that look.
