I'm going to be ordering new wheels and I've decided to go with the 17" TT2's.
What I really wanted was something a little different like these:
Boyd Coddington Junk Yard Dog
smoothie II
Edelbrock 409
but I can't find them in a 17x9 rear with 5.5" bs (I REALLY want to run 275's in the back)
You guys running 17x9 or 17x9.5 wheels with 5.5" backspacing.......would you change the backspacing a little if you could? Since I'm ordering the wheels custom I can get any backspacing I want, so I'd like to get the tire in the middle of the wheel well so I can run the biggest meat possible while minimizing rubbing.
The tire choices I had in mind were the 275/40/17 Mickey Thomson Drag Radials
or the Goodyear F1-GS-D3 in the 285/40/17 size
I will be running the Goodyear's on the front of the car
