Torq Thrust 17x9.5 and 17x11

**2001ws6ta** · 08-10-2008, 06:27 PM

What's the difference between the Torq Thrust 17x9.5 and the 17x11...On American Racing website, it says that the 17x11 are for rear only..Why are they for the rear only? I have 275/40ZR17 tires, what size should I get? So are the 17x9.5 for the front or can I get the 17x11 on all four tires?

Roughly one and a half inches.

17x11 up front and you could quite easily be rubbing on something with the tire and/or wheel. i saw a guy who had 17x11 on the year of his '02 WS6 and he STILL had to make room. there's a reason they are REAR ONLY. if you were to go with the 17x11, you would have to put 315/35/17 to match the overall diameter, sidewall height, radius, and circumference of the 275/40/17. i wouldn't recommend putting 17x11 all the way around.

17x11 wheels will fit BETTER on the front than the rear.

well, i think it is made in a slightly different offset, so they could give it a dish for the rear. i dunno, i figured they may pose a problem up front, but if not, then....try it? but i still wouldn't go that wide if it were my car. JMO.

Anybody got a pic of the TTII's on say a 93-97 T.A.? I've seen em' on the 98 and up but was wondering how they would look with the different fron end.
