Default Yet another wheel question... offset trailing arms

Now that I have the offset arms, I want to get some wider wheels in the back.

I can't afford to shell out another grand for TTII but I see a lot of C4 sawblades for sale at reasonable prices. :)

With the offset arms, can I fit the 17 x 9.5 rears without a problem?

What about the front? Do I need spacers even with the 17 x 8.5 wheels? Can 17 x 9.5 wheels fit in front without hitting?

Thanks for the info.

Someday.... I'll drive it again. :crazy:

Yep you can make them work with 2.5 inch adaptors all the way around. The front on mine apparently rubbed the front sway bar, but I never actually noticed it while driving and I dont see any reason to worry about it.
Go for it, it will handle so much better! :steering:
