Default Torque Thrust M's, need help with fitment?

I am looking at a set of wheels and tires, and I am unsure if they will fit on my car. My car is a 95 T/A, M6, with t-tops. It isn't lowered or anything like that. The wheels are a set of Torque Thurst M's. Here are the specs on the wheels.

TIRE SIZE: FRONT - 255/45ZR17
REAR - 285/40ZR17

THE FRONT WHEELS ARE 17X9, OFFSET +45mm, BACKSPACE 6.77"

THE REAR WHEELS ARE 17X10.5, OFFSET +44mm, BACKSPACE 7.48"

THEY HAVE 5X4.75 LUG SPACING.

Any help with this would be great. I read about the 17x11 rims with the 50mm offset, and some of the problems that are associtated with that wide of a rim. Will this rims just be able to bolt on with those tires?

Thanks,
Travis

Default Wheels

Hi, perfect fit. The only thing I would do different is go with a 275/40/17 tire in the front. I just mounted these on my 95 camaro Z/28 and they look great! Thats the correct back spacing and offset 45m front and 44 rear bolt pattern 4.75 Good Luck I hope this helps.

Travis, these will bolt right on. I had 11's in the rear no problem either with the torq thrust II's but didn't care for the look. Good decision.

thanks for the info. I was looking at the Torque Thrust M's, and also the American Racing 200s. They are all 4 17x9.5 and have 275 tires all around. I just have to decide which ones look better. I know the torque thrust wheels look good, but I have never seen the other ones in person, just pictures.
