So

17x11 with 7.75" back spacing

Im going to get 17x11 a 5.75" or 4.75" backspacing depending on if i go 2" or 3" narrowed rear end!

No offense because the car looks great and i have the same wheels on my car but i would suggest bringing the bottom of rear fender lip down to 27 inches and the front to the same or a little less like 26 3/4. My car rides great at 26.5 all the way around with strange coil overs in the front and strange shocks in the rear with a mustang type coil spring isolator on a cut factory spring. Oh and i also took the factory isolators out. After i slammed the 9 inch bracket into the floor a few time it rides even better........ lol

Yeah I'm going to leave the rear where it is until I rent DopdBirds fender roller, and bring the front up a little bit.

Nice work. I saw you were getting rid of your TTM's, and was kinda worried. Those look pretty amazing tho. Guess i'll have to do the spokes in black on mine so they'll be different than the only other person who has them here haha i wish. Badass T/A man.
