Default Backspacing 17x11 TTII's

I've done some searches, but..
I'm prepurchasing some special order chrome TTII's, which means no refunds.

I have a 2002 WS6. I'm going with the 17x9.5 in front and 17x11 for the rear.
I need to know back spacing for the wheels from guys who have made this work. The more responses, even if it's the same response will make me feel a little more confortable before charging my credit card.
Also chime in if lowering makes a difference. My car is currently stock.

46mm for the 11's I believe, AR should now, but I'm pretty sure it's 46mm, I can't remember the fronts though. With lowering and a 11 in the back, the lowest I would go is 1" drop because the TT2 11's tend to stick out a little more then the ZR1 11's, which isn't bad because it looks just perfect. You will have to roll the inner fender lip in the rear or the tire will rub when the suspension travels and you may have to beat certain points on the inner fender where the tire will rub, also know as the BFH (big f**king hammer) mod. You may want to look into an adjustable PHR, it will help center the rear up a little and will minimize tire rubbing on the inner fender. If you keep the car at stock height, you probably won't have to do neither of these, I have TT2 11's and I am at stock height and I BARELY had to beat my inner fenders for my wheels to work, and they barely rubbed to begin with

the rears should have 7 3/4" backspace.i've got sportline springs and it works fine now.with sportlines you will need an adjustable panhard.hammer out the inner fender,and roll the outside fender lip.

Is it sounding like 7 in front and 7 3/4 backs or 44 front and 46 backs.
You guys do recall that I'm using two different sized rims right.

Just got some Boyds 9.5's and 11's. Mine are 7-1/4 front and 7.93 rear Backspace. Rears are same a ZR1 11's. Fit almost perfect without lowering, but after lowering adjustments will need to be made.
