17x10.5 torq thrust m guys come in
 
I have 17x9 wheels on the back of my car now but want to put 17x10.5's on the back. Was looking to order them from summit or somewhere if i could find them cheaper. But would these work.

Size: 17'' x 10.5''
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.75"
Rear Spacing: 7.5"
Offset: 44mm

I will probably run 315/35/17 nittos on them
And will probably run strano lowering springs too.

Will the tires rub anywhere with this setup? I really dont want to do the bfh mod or roll the fenders if at all possible.

Anyone had any experience with this setup? Thanks!

Buddy of mine has that exact wheel and tire setup on his car w/o any modification and no rubbing but his car is not lowered...

I just put those on my t/a with 315 nitto's, stock suspension, boltd mine right up. you should be fine.

What about lowered cars? Anyone have any rubbing issues with these on a lowered car? And thanks for the replies!

depends man, you will just have to test fit. more than likely depending on how much drop you will have to do some hammering

Just get a adjustable PHB and re-center the rear after lowering, any rubbing that you might have would most likely be on the fender lips.

315's lowered recommend adj. panhard bar and some slight hammering on the inner fender well. I had to do this with my sumitomo tires.

I have same set up and is lowered, I get wheel rub if 2 people are in car when I hit dips on highway. I havent rolled my fenders because I hardly drive her, but shes gonna need it.

i used to have them on my firebird. same sizes you mentioned. mine had sumitomo 315 on the back and did not rub at all, even while auto-xing. i'm now running 17x11 w/ 315 nittos all around and still not rubbing anyplace lol.

With Strano's and Koni's I rub taking super hard corners. I also have upgraded spring cups as well.

I am also getting torq thrust m but my set up will be 17x9 17x10.5 275/40/17 315/35/17 nitto 555s is what I plan on getting here in about a month or so. I am also curious about this bfh or fender rolling which I don't want to mess with either

LILWS6 08-31-2013 11:37 AM

fenders probably wont need touching. you may need the bgh just for a wack or two i did it even tho i barely had any rubbing but it made me happy.

formula218 08-31-2013 11:42 AM

i'm running 315/35/17 nitto NT-05s front (with a 10mm spacer) and back with Strano/bilsteins. no fender rolling or hammering at all.

it does not rub at all unless i'm at full lock, then the fronts bearly rub the fender liners in the front. no rubbing under cornering at all. i auto-x the car so it is definitely getting thrown into corners hard.

QuicksterZ 08-31-2013 02:35 PM

^^^Sounds like a tight fit up front did have to get longer studs?

formula218 09-01-2013 12:12 AM

yea, i have ARPs all around

Frosty5 10-02-2013 12:31 AM

Old thread bump but are Torque Thrusts big brake compatible w/o spacers?

UPDATE to my previous post. I replaced the Nitto NT555R with NT05R 315/35R17. The car is lowered as I mentioned before (Strano Springs, 1.2 inch lower than OEM). Still no tire to fender contact.
