well i ordered my wheels and tires.

TTMs 17 X 9 and 17 X 10.5

9" = BFG KDW 275/40/17

10.5" = BFG KD 315/35/17

Now my questions is, the TTM on the 10.5'' rim is a 44mm offset, will the 315 tire stick out a lot or be flush with the outer portion of the wheel well???

On a Firebird, the rear quarter flares out a tad bit more than a Camaro so the the tire is going to be close to flush with the lip.

everyone should know that spending that little extra dollar on having the 11s or 10.5s in the back is money well spent...... and the rotating thing is a small price to pay for this look! anyone who argues that is just mad they didnt make the right decision when they bought theirs........

as to the guy above me with 9s all around try to sell your rears and just buy some new 11s from tomz, its not too late to make this right lol
