If you buy the TT2 designed for the car, it won't stick out . . .

Not going to comment on weather they will stick out or not, but here are the rims that I'm looking to put on our 01 Z28 once I save up.

Or you can just browse New Stalgia Wheel for other idea's.


On another note, I've been browsing this site for a bit and have noticed that sites who don't sponser ls1tech get taken down, so I hope you see this before that happends.

TT II's i believe are 17-9.5 with a 46mm offset and 7in backspacing. They will not stick out far. I just got them put on my 01 Z28 this week. They are about even with the inside fender lip at the top and stick out about and inch towards the bottom where the car goes inward. I can get some pic if you would like. Your not going to find TT II's for $500 unless you find some used ones. I got mine for $905 shipped thats the best your gonna find on a new set. The only thing you might find for $500 are ZR1's which you already have.
