im bidding on some TT2's. theyre 16x7's with 245/45/16 tires. hes asking 550 buy it now but i dont know the backspacing. whats the correct backspacing i need for my 66?

 

.....

 

bump. the backspacing on the 16x7 rims is 4 inches. the seller emailed me back. is this good for my car?

 

I have 16x7 TT2s with 4" BS on them....in the sig pic below.

Here's how they fit running 215/55-16s. You won't have any problem with the inside clearances.



The problem you could run into is the width of the tire. 245/45 is a smidge wider than my 215/55 and a little shorter. I alread have had my rear tires hit the wheelhouse lip on a deep dip... I've decided to roll my fender lips. I think you can run these, but you'll definately have to roll the fenders and rear wheel houses.

 

cool thanks. im gonna go with skinnier tires in the front but i might keep the rear width at 245 cause that currently what i have and only rub goin up a driveway ricer status lol. i might go with a 225 in the front. if i do, what profile should it be? 45 or 55?

 

215/55 in front

 

so i can go with 215/55/16 in front and can i go with 235/55/16 or 225/55/16 in back?

 

bump. jamesw, will the 245/45 fit AT ALL?? or will they not even bolt up?

 

245s can fit up front...
I run a 16x8 rims with 245 45-16 tires up front.
It does require a little work though

 

Matt's right..you can run 245s up front..but you're getting into fender issues. Mine scrape the fenders when I make a dip/turn running the 215s.

Again...235s or 245s, even with the lower profile will be problematic in the back. You'll need to roll your fenderwells.
