Offset question for TT2
I have a 93 that I'd like to put American Racing TT2s on. Looks like the only offset they offer close to mine is 46mm when stock calls for 56mm. How much of a problem is this?

WVAR-1 is right. That said, a quick scan of the AR site has be guessing they are indeed 17x9.5, because those are the only ones I see with a 46mm offset. That's not a problem at all with the recommended 275/40/17 tires.

I was looking at the 17 X 9.5 size.
The 10mm difference is only about 3/8".
I'm not sure but I'm thinking it would be inset that 3/8", looking at the car the wheel being inset that amount I don't think it would look right.
Am I correct it would be in and not out?
Has anyone put these on their C4? Any pictures?

Thanks for the info. Took a straight edge to the current wheels looks like the TT2s will be outside the fender. Current tire size at 285 maybe be part of the issue, have to revisit the straight edge and maybe 275s would make it work.

Sitting outside the top of the fender edge? They shouldn't. Do you have a bunch of positive camber back there?
