I went to have those put on my car today with my new TT2 17 by 9.5 rims but the tires in the front rubbed when you turned the wheel. Has anyone else had this problem and what size tires do you put on them? I want the same size tires all the way around.

I also have 275x40x17's on 17x9 rims. No problems, though I have gotten the rear to eat fender well once in a hard side ways sliding turn..who needs jounce spacers... ;)Wayne<br />94 5 spd Camaro<br />Turbo/Intercooled<br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm</a> <br /><br />Megasquirt Stand-alone EFI controling fuel/spark w/ wideband:<br /> <a href=\"http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html</a>

Check your offset. 36MM will not work. 50MM may work. 56MM is most used with wide tires 275 to 31597 RS, M5 Y87 (3.42rear, posi, a/c)<br />35mm/25mm solid swaybars, BMR moly STB, alum DS, adjustable panhard bar, GM ZR1 17X9.5 w/275/40 BFG KD\'s, 360lb front & 140/170 rear springs, Koni SA shocks, poly bushings all round. CAI K&H filter, 160 thermostat, Edelbrock cat back, rollbar, pair red competition seat & belts,red carpet & door pannels, redline lubricants all round.

That's weird, I have 17x9.5 wheels with 275/40R17s, and I have no rubbing whatsoever lock to lock.--<b>David</b>--<br /><a href=\"http://bryant2.bryant.edu/~dsantore/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">The <b>NEW</b> V6Bird Website!</a> <br /><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/thev6bird\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain site</a><br />ΔX

It was the rear that rubbed, not front, front seems fine.Wayne<br />94 5 spd Camaro<br />Turbo/Intercooled<br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm</a> <br /><br />Megasquirt Stand-alone EFI controling fuel/spark w/ wideband:<br /> <a href=\"http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html</a>

I'm not sure what the offset is but most of you say that you have 9" rims. I have 9 1/2" rims. Would that make a difference?2001 3.8L Firebird M5<br />Flowmaster 80 series,exhaust cutout,catco hi-flow cat,tbyrne WRA,whisper lid,K&N filter,BMR LCA\'s,Ram air H.O. hood,3.73 gears with LSD 17\" by 9 1/2\" TT2\'s<br />Rockford 300s with 2 12\" JL audio W3v2 subs and JVC HU

slightly, but the factor is going to be the offset. What rims are they precisely?2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
