Keep them keep them keep them!

I had a set of Budnik Ice on my car, with the same brakes as you! Brushed centers/polished lip and barrel. I wish I had not sold them but I needed the cash at the time..

They are probably 18x9 and 18x10. You have 295 rear tires and on a 12" wide rim that would stretch way out. Also Budnik only builds them in 1" increments with the Fat Lip (smooth lip).

If you switched it appears TT2's will clear the calipers, I noticed that your Hub or Center section of your brakes are extremely wide which will push the wheels out futher and provide extra clearance from the calipers. Now you might need to run 18's because of the rotor size.

Where did you get your brake setup from?

My brakes were all done when i bought the car- wilwood 6piston fronts, and 4 piston rears.. They are the SL- 6 piston (superlites) rear SL-4.. THey were around 2500? when new(complete setup)- cant remember- ill have to look..

Compare your brakes to C5 brakes as I am pretty sure no one has gotten TT2s to work with C5 brakes yet. That should give you a good idea as to whether they would fit or not.

I still not to do it. I am so glad I didn't keep mine. I can't wait to get my new wheels mounted.
