Default Ttii?
Quick question, I have been searching for the last hour and no luck. Would a set of 17x9.5 Torq Thrust II wheels,,6" back spacing fit and look right on my 98 T/A? I cant figure out what backspacing needs to be used on the rears.

IMO, 6.75" minimum to 7.5" maximum.

6" will stick out.

You can't get a 17x9.5 Torque Thrust II in 7.5" backspace. 7.375" is the most you can go.

Just asking cause there is a guy selling them whhels and tires for 500 in good shape. For 92-02 fbody but I thought that the 93-97 had different rears, but the longer I think about it they were the thirdgens that had different diffs. Anyway, I will pass on them cause I really dont want them to look f'ed up in the rear
