Looking for anyone running 17x10.5 on all 4 wheels...what brand, style & offset are you using ? I would like to run A.R. Torq Thrust M in that size but not sure how well the fronts will fit ! Will the fronts stick out way past the fender and the rear with like a 38mm backspace ? Any input would be appreciated.

If it's a 38mm, it'll sit pretty much flush front and rear. The front wheel wells have more space that the rear.

I have 18x10.5s on all four corners and they do not stick out, they fit well and do not rub. For the rear I did have to clearance the inner fender well and I even put on a 1/4" spacer and I had to roll the fender lip as it kept slicing the tires when the suspension would compress in the rear.

GNC Rick

Dang, I just checked & it's 44mm offset, so that changes things alil ?

They fit, but its tight.

GNC Rick

Wow that looks awesome, what size tires are you running ?

44 gives you more clearance on the fender side. I'd feel better about running that up front vs 38mm...

GNC Rick

Really ? Thats good then, I thought it would be the other way around....looking to run 295/35/17 all round since I have road course action in mind. Great feedback from everyone, thank you all...

That's the size (or a 285/40 17) I would want to run all around as well on 10.5s, but very few great tires are made in either size, sadly enough.

GNC Rick

Fudge ! Really ? I haven't checked yet to see what's available ...I just figured 17's would be less expensive tires vs 18's....

The pics are of 315/35 17 Toyo R888s.

That's crazy, I can't believe it fits without rubbing

In the front, the only mods I made were a couple button head screws to make sure the inner fender is held out securely and never gets grabbed by a tire. It also has an aggressive alignment with 2 degrees of chamber, which makes sure the top of the tire fits in the fender under full compression. You can see it tucked in nicely in the above picture mid turn.

There are very faint witness marks or polished sections on the inner fender. In the rear, 315s and how to fit them has been done to death. The fronts were surprisingly simple.

I should also mention, if you are tracking the car, take the center caps off. I did one track day and lost all the centers in 15 minutes. The heat in the rim relaxes the plastic and they fall out.

GNC Rick

Yes the car will be tracked, HPDE weekends at VIR & thanks for heads up on those center caps

Im also running 18X10.5"s on all 4, lowered on Sportlines, 295s up front and 315s in rear.
I get no rubbing whatsoever.

GNC Rick

That's good to know ZL1LT1, I'm lowered on Strano springs & single adjustable Koni's....I'm also running Baer front brakes w/13 in rotors which are basically c5 vette brakes w/ relocation brackets

dailydriver

I would have thought that all run groups/sanctioning bodies would never let you out on the track before doing this^^^.

For the safety reasons alone.

GNC Rick

Okay so I went out and bought A.R. torque Thrust M in 17 x 10.5 with 44mm offset....BUT I complicated maters further when I decided to install Baer brake kit. 13" front rotors...I got it to fit, but..I will post some pics asap

17x11 +50 Gran Sport wheels with 315/35/17's. There is definitely more room up front but I use a 1/4" spacer. Rear lip has been rolled, and the adjustable PHB meticulously centered.

Red TA looks nice.. Zr1s wouldn't have been my choice but they look great!
