TT IIs?

[GratefulTurbo]

Time to replace the wheels and tires on my 69K mile '87 GN (I'm the original owner). I like the American Racing Torque-Thrust IIs (AR-505) and would like to use 16" X 8" with 3 3/4" backspacing. I've seen lots of pix of TT IIs on GNs, but they're only offered in 4" backspacing (or worse) in that size.
How do people make it work?
T6P Wheel Gallery - t6p.com - Turbo Buick Regal Resource , the top left pic of TT IIs has the look I'd like for my GN, but I cannot find particulars on wheel or tires sizes. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

When I got my TT II's they were made and I had to wait . I could have had them in any offset. I guess you need to find someoe who offers more then the standard offsets. Do a search on Google for the wheels and call a supplier.

Thanks. What size wheels and offset did you get? Did you order direct from American racing? And, what size tired did you install, please?

16 x 8 here is well with the 3.75 back spacing. DO yourself a favor and get the 15'', tire selection for the 16" sucks.

I appreciate your advice, plus your replies.

Anyone else running TT IIs? Sizes?

Thanks,

I have 17X8's TT II's on my GN. I don't know the back spacing though and it has wheel spacers in the rear.

I have 16" TTII's on my white limited with a 4 inch backspace.

15" look too small in my opinion.

Here is a link to my photobucket album, hope you dont have dialup:biggrin:
