TT2's sticking out?
 

I just got some tt2's of my freind he had them on his 95 trans am when he totaled it like 3 years ago. I put them on the back of my car (2001 Z/28) and it looks like they are sticking out a little bit. :bang: I think it might just be the sidewall being all small? The tire on there now is 255 40 17. Does anyone else have this problem? I am getting 235 45 17 mounted on the front and seeing if that makes it look any better. I had the tires laying around. It looked like a freakin half assed lowrider on such low profile tires. Anyone with good side shots of the TT2's on a Camaro would be awesome. Thanks in advance guys!!

255/40/17 is too thin of a tire, and a 235/45/17 is just dangerous, you need some 275/40/17's if they are 17x9.5's, and even bigger if you have 17x11's for the rear.

First, what is the width of the rims? The assumpition was made that they are 9.5" width and if so I agree with 'Trust'. Second, what is the offset? When you see "sticking out" do you mean beyond the fender? If so it's offset related and there is not much you can do. If they were in too far a spacer would work.

I have no idea what the offset is. They are sticking out from the fender a little bit. I don't know if the low profiles are emphasizing it or what. Anyone that runs TT2's did you have a custom offset made or did you just buy them stock.

ususally you give them the year and they give you the right offset for that year, in this case you bought them used whats the width?

You should be able to run anywhere from +38mm-+57mm depending on the wheel without them sticking out or rubbing. My guess is you got some +35mm offsets. No way to fix that unless you shorten the axels and you don't want to go there.

The "perfect" offset for a 4th gen Fbody is +50mm.

Most states that have state inspection will fail your car if the wheels protrude past the fenders. Plus if you hit a big bump your fender might contact the fender and tear up the tire. Sorry to be a bearer of bad news but you should be able to sell them easily. TT2's are hot right now.

For a 9.5" TTII, the fbody offset is 46mm. Post some pictures. Do they look anything like this?
