correct offset & back spacing

hi
I plan on buying some new rims & tires and planed on going with
17" x 9.5" for the front 275
17" x 11" for the rear 315

I have a 97 T/A
what i wanted to ask is what offset & backspacing do I need to go with in order
not to have to roll or pound on the rear fenders?


If any of you have done this tire set-up would you post some pics for me..........
thanks alot
zoso

Backspacing is 7.93" for the 17x11. I can't remember what it was for the front.

Do you have bigger pipes for your 2OTL? They look different then mine and they seem to hug the bumper more

Oh my god... you run a 13.18" tire on a 10.5" wheel

Don't let some of the "It won't fit correctly" cronies see that one.

That's awsome...335s!!?? You didn't have to do any body work or anything to get them to fit correctly? Is it because of the tires...like someone posted before about how the BF Goodrich tires are bigger?? I the future I hope to have 18x9.5 up front and 18x11 in the back...so I'm just trying to see what's instore for the install.

XXsaint69x,

What size were your rear Zo6 wheels in the back and were you able to run 315s on them without rubbing. I plan to buy some Z06 wheels off of ebay. Thanks

they were 17x 9.5 and i had the 315s in the back without problems. They will not look anywhere near as wide as the 17x11 and 315s thou
