TT II's backspacing
I finally have a set on the way. Stayed with 15s because of the new tires. Anyway the rep said that 3 3/4 inch would fit and that is what they are sending. Will they fit? The reason that I ask is that the factory ralleys are 4 inch.

I can't answer your question but I special ordered my 15" TTs with 4" backspacing. It took about 6 weeks to get them. I wanted the same back spacing as the stock rally wheel.

They will fit fine but I believe a 4 inch is called for. I have a set of 15's and a new set of 17's, both 4 inch. I had the 17's powdercoated clear so I will never have to spend a WHOLE day polishing them AGAIN!!!!!

Re: TT II's backspacing (Chucks76)
Just got a set of American Racing AR-136's in 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing. Cleared my calipers by about 5 mm. Change in backspacing just moved the tires outwards about 1/4". Looks good and at least they won't rub on the spring anymore (long story).
I'll post pics when I get a chance.
