On my car I run 17x8 4.75 in the front with a 245 40 17 tire with the stock style kelsey hayes brakes with shelby dropped control arms, 620 drop springs, roller perches, and adjustable control arms. I run 1/8 toe, +3 caster and -2.5 camber and do not have the fender rolled.

If you get exact measurements on the track width change between stock and wilwood brakes it should be easy enough to replicate but it would probably require custom wheels which is an expense you might not want.

I believe there are some late model wheels that are 17x8 with 5.5 backspacing, you could use those and then a small spacer to make up the difference...but then you would have to mess with adapters in the rear as well.

I'm sorry, I hadn't realized the photo I posted was 16s....16s have a little harder to fit on the ball joint 17s let you run .25 more backspacing (4.75 instead of 4.5 on an 8 inch rim).

 

you gotta be ****ing kidding me.

god dammit now i might as well give the ****ing car away. my whole dream was to have wilwoods and tt2s. and i checked and double checked and everyone said it would work. now theres basically no point in me finishing the car. the wheels are the most important part. and im NOT going with ANOTHER wheel.

 

dude get some polished bullits and deep dish bullits in the rear

 

You can have TTII's made in whatever offset you wish. Especially if you go polished aluminum. They run about $400 each. You would only have to have the fronts custom done. Therefore, a standard wheel size and offset will fit the back. You only have to have 2 of them custom made. you will only be spending about $400 extra.
Not a big deal if you ask me.

Discount Tire Baby!

 

TT2s are $230 each at summit racing.

 

dodgestang would the 17x8 wheel fit with a 5" backspacing? and would the wheel look funky?

 

my main concern is i want lip on the wheel. i want deep lip. otherwise i wouldve stuck with the 05 bullits i had.

 

shallow lip front, deep lip rear=win

 

deep dishes dont come in a 17x8 or 9 wheel. and a 10.5 wheel wont fit.

 

Listen to Rmodel, he knows his crap....
