Default How to check wheel size on TT2's?!?

Hey,

Basically i need to get 2 front tires tomorrow & my questions are:

1. I need to know how/where the serial numbers are on the wheel to check wheel width.

2. If i have 17 x 9.5 up front and throw 245/45/17 up front with 275/45/17 in the rear, do you think that would look good?

Thanks!

Should be marked on the back of the wheel.

Do a 275/40-17 and 285/40-17 combo if they are 9.5s front and rear.

F-Car 17" diamter TT2's only come in 2 sizes . . . 17" x 9.5" and 17" x 11" fairly obvious to see . . .

As for tires . . . If you have 9.5" wide wheels on all for corners it makes no sence to me to not put four of the same sized tires on them . . . which would be 275/40ZR17 the factory tire size for a Camaro SS or WS6 Trans Am.

And also a 245/45ZR17 does not fit on a 9.5" wide wheel.

Yes. Do all four 275/40/17's. Just makes sense.
