Default Vendor for TT II's

Do any of our supporting vendors sell TT II's? What size should I buy for the 72? 15 or 16" I want to try to get as close to the 27" diameter as possible to reduce the gap between tire and fender. Car is already lowered with 10" bolts in back about as far as it can be.

Bought mine on sale at Sears, wish I could remember what I paid, :banghead: but I do know it was cheaper than any vendor I found elsewhere! :cheers: I put 16X8's all around, pretty near same ride height as stock! :flag Hope this helps! :steering:

Get the 17"x8" with the 245/45/R17 tires, I believe it is pretty much the same diameter as the stock wheel/tire combo with that size tire :cheers:

255/50-17 is same diameter as stock (27"). I got mine from wheelsforless. I wanted the greyspoke TT2's (look like the old Thrust D's) and they were the only ones advertising them.

Actually, the nice thing about 255 tires is that when you start at 255-60-15, if you go to 16, lower the profile by 5% and you'll have the same overall diameter. Thus...

255-60-15, 255-55-16, 255-50-17, 255-45-18, 255-40-19, 255-35-20, 255-30-21, 255-25-22, 255-20-23, 255-15-24, 255-10-25, 255-5-26, 255-0-27 ;)
