I just got the torque thrust IIs in 17x9.5 and 11" in that color. Need tires though. If you want i'll email it to you since i can not get it here for some reason.

torq-thrust IIs are chrome. torq-thrust Ds are gray.
I asked the same question a while back and got no response. I assumed they're not made in any size above 16", but if 86IROCNJ has them, I'd love to see them.

The first is the 17x9.5", the second is the 11" rear. I think they will look good with my color car. I was looking at tires but it is hard to find tires that i like that will have both the fronts, and matching rear tires! Its a major PITA for me. By the way, those pics look like sh it! lol Sorry

Those do look good. Same concept with the wheel design. Hopefully i will have more pics soon with them on the car. I think i have picked out some tires finally!

Well, the size for the fronts i think i would go with a 245 or 255 series, 40zr17s. For the rear, prob. 315/35/17s. The make, i think i will have go with Dunlops up front and the rears i am not too sure which i want to go with. From tirerack i have only found a handful of tires made in that size. I know i have to search more before i settle for a set of rear tires. It sucks now. But i am in no rush due to the coming winter weather. later

sweet sounds likes its going to be a hell of a setup, i wonder if the rears will stick out alot, i take it your not using adapters since your custom.....and are you not worried about matching fronts and backs? it would probably make things alot hard on your finding the tires....

From what i can tell when i mounted the rears, they will stick out just a bit. Maybe 1/2". It fills the whole wheel well. About mixing the tires, we'll see. I'm still searching for the same tires. Its tough. I might just call some companies and ask. Just b/c its not listed somewhere doesn't always mean that they do not produce them.

All 3 torque thrust wheels look great! Either the 2's in aluminum, the 2's in gray, or the torque thrust d's. im getting ready to purchase some, but i cant make my mind up on what i want. my SS hood came in today! the Z's going to the body shop next week to have everything "prettied" up. now i just gotta decide what color to paint it. im thinking either red, black, or mytalic orange? aint sure yet. by the way, can i run 17x7 on the front and 17x10's on the back, and use srpings that lower my car 1.75"? i really wanted the 1" lowering springs, but im thinking i might get the 1.75". thanks!

Im pretty sure Nitto makes tires that will match front and rear for your car, 275s up front and 315s out back. I think goodyear also makes F1s that will fit front and rear as does BFG with their G-force KDW's.

I talked to Tom Henry Chevrolet about those grey TT2's. Seems a lot of GMMG cars have 'em. They are in fact painted at the dealer, not GMMG, and not through American Racing.
...easy enough to paint though!

hmmm alright but can i lower my car 1.75" and still run 17x7 and 17x10 without any rubbing? im pretty sure there wont be any problem up front with the 17x7, but how about in the back with the 17x10? or does it all depend on what size tire i go with? thanks!
