Yes, size does matter!

I have two sets of Team III 15" wheels. One set has BFG"s & the other, Avon's. For those with 15" wheels, the number of tires being made is just not there anymore.

I have wanted to try some modern tread designs for a while now, and after talking to Scott at Team III Wheels, I put an order in for some 17" 2 piece-wheels today. After some discussion, I committed to the following wheels and backspacing for a Backdraft:

Fronts - 8"x 17" with a 4 1/2" backspace. With 1/4" tire overlap on each side, this would put the final number at 5".

Rears - 11" x 17" with a 5 3/4" backspace. With a 1/4" tire overlap on each side, this would put it the final number at 6".

Scott said that the turnaround should be about 2 weeks.

As far as tires for them, I've chosen the Nitto 555R.
245/45 17 for the fronts.
315/35 17 for the rears.

Tomorrow, I'm going to put both sets of the 15" wheels and tires up for sale.

Anyone interested?
