Default correct offset and backspacing for 17x11 TT2s?

Anyone know off hand what the right off set and back spacing are? does 17x11=45mm offset,7.75" back spacing and 17x9=46mm offset,7" back spacing sound right?

Yes - that's what you need. They work just fine.

Most places that sell rims have the catalog that lists the standard setting for our cars. I just let the place I ordered my rims from worry about the proper backspacing. That way if it was wrong it would be their fault and they'd have to fix it.

The 11's of course fit fine even thought they didnt think it would clear the bump stops after mounting the tires.

As long as the offset is close to 50mm you should be just fine.
