Just thought I'd share some pics of my new rear wheels and tires. My car has DSE deep tubs, but I was running the standard 275/40/17 on a 9.5" wheel until now. The previous owner who had the tubs installed never bought the wider wheels, and it was a shame having that much room for tires and not using it.
I decided to stick with the tied and true TT2's that were on the car since I didn't really feel like buying 4 new wheels right now. The cool thing is that the wheels were an off-the-shelf part at Summit (17x11 w/ 7.75" backspacing) and I only paid $260 a wheel. I'll probably be putting the old 9.5" wheels on the front of the car with some 275's to even out the handling and look.
Eventually, I'd like to have the centers of the wheels painted or powdercoated a charcoal metallic to match my stripes. At least that way they will be a little different than all the other TT2's out there.
