I have 19/20" Ruff 281s. Backs fit pretty good. Fronts stick out about a quarter an inch. Fit is not perfect, but what to you expect for the money? These aren't iForged or anything like that.

That is the best pic I got of the fronts sticking out. Not that bad but noticeable. Backs are fine.

They look great from the side thought.

Black and Chrome Z06 wheels will look great on you TR with the tint.

Doesnt it take a transmission to get the power from the engine to the wheels???
