275's will fit on a 10.5" wheel according to the goodyear web site, but I dont think I would do it. They show the approved rim width from 9-11".

Thanks for the response and the link.
I would only be using them because I already have the four 275/40/17 tires...after they wear out, I'm going to change it up. I just want to know what will fit for now and later, so I can get the right size the first time.
TomZWheels can you chime in?

It says that the 275 will fit on a 9" - 11" wheel so I see no problem there. I would suggest the 255/40-17 for the front instead of the 245s, because the 9" wheel is right on the limit of the 245, and the 255 can run a 8.5" - 10" wheel to give it a better look.

Damn I'd be all over this if thry made a 18X10.5. Once you go 18's it's hard to go back down. Tom let me know if they decide to make them. Thanks and happy holidays

I would like to buy the TT M black 17x9 and 17x10.5, 1 pair each. However I am waiting for my tax return first!
also are different center caps available?? a cobra logo on a camaro would not be right!

Tom, I know you know rims and I know a little myslf. What is the deal with these new rims from ARE? These seem to be clones of the Bullitts, etc... which are clones of the TTII. Did ARE decide to stop losing money and make their own budget rims?
Don't get me wrong, I like these, but the other brands are even cheaper. Is ARE making these higher quality than the cheaper clones or maybe lighter in weight? This is just confusing me.

On another note, do you think these one piece TTM's are stronger than the TTII's? I've had a few slightly bent lips on my 17x11's and it is getting old having to fix them. I was also thinking of chroming them. So if these are stronger and already come chromed, them I may just get some of these and sell my TTII's.

how much shipped to 66216
2 - 17x9 and 2 17x10.5 Black/Machined Lip 739.00 plus shipping.
Shipping for the set would be $60.
Hey Tom I did find out they do make 18's
item size offset bolt pattern price
605MS8166C 18 10 45 5-114.3 $272.00
For some reason they make the 18x10 in a 5x114.3 or 5x4.5 bolt pattern but not the 5x4.75. I have been asking them about that.

There were some rumors of copyright infringement and some other stuff but I am not surre of all the details. I know there are some that are very similar out there but I am happy to have them backed by the name and reputation of American Racing.

Sorry but I do not know. I checked them and the thickness on the lip looks pretty much the same and the material should be the same.
How much shipped to 23320 with and without rubber?
75 without and 150 with. No sales tax.
