BOLT-ON 17-INCHERS
Who's running 17s on their shark without spacers or mods - and what kind? I see more than a few TT2 users. Do the calipers get in the way? Not looking to go for a lung. Also looking for reliable, reasonable suppliers.

Any company that custom makes the wheels can do a 17" that will clear ok. the 18" wheels im getting are made by Into and are custom made to each car. :cool:

Boyd Coddington Timeless 5 wheels. As long as you're not trying to go wider in the rear (like I did) then you will not have to change anything at all. They clear the calipers with no issues. Go with a 17x8 w/ a 4" BS all the way around and you'll be good to go.
Cost is +/- $100 compared to the TT2 wheels.
