17x9.5 torque thrust 2's
I am looking to put 17x9.5in torque thrust 2's on all 4 corners of my 84 Camaro, currently only have them on the back with 17x8 in the front. I'm putting on c5 brakes which adds to the front track width and I also know I have to run a 1/4in spacer to clear the calipers. The car is lowered eibach pro kit for now, will be weight jacks soon but same ride height. Will 17x9.5 fit? And also what offset/back spacing? Also where can I purchase the wheel spacers?
Thank you, Jason

I gave up the search. I got ctw wheels and c6 zo6 brakes. Ended up with a better package and a lot less headache.

Ctw's come from ctw. Only one size and one offset.

Re: 17x9.5 torque thrust 2's
Correct on all accounts.
We sell them direct to cut out the middleman - we had offers from a few distributors to carry our wheels - it would have only brought the price up if we agreed to do so.
Right now they are only available in 17" x 9.5" - the largest size that will fit all 4 corners on a 3rd gen and also the widest wheel that our machinery can handle. We will be putting out the same exact wheel in 17" x 8" in the future and we are looking at an 18" x 10" - which is already made in BMW offsets.
The reason we picked only one offset is very simple - it allows the 9.5" wheel to fit without spacers up front (unlike our competition from Hawks and Ronal) and also allows the wheel to sit flush with the wheel wells. It is also a lot easier to stock one offset in a particular size.

17" x 9.5"
5.25" BS (0mm offset)
20.2 lbs with cap
Will fit 14" 6 piston big brake kits, competition needs at minimum 18" wheels
Two colors - silver and satin black
You would get them directly from us: http://www.ctw-motorsports.com

Re: 17x9.5 torque thrust 2's
Paul any idea if 17x9.5" tt2s would fit on all 4 with 5.5" bs? Ive been reading the front needs 5", you say 5.25" some say 5.5" works sone say it might need some grinding of the tie rods. I have stock brakes thanks

Re: 17x9.5 torque thrust 2's
I can't say anything about wheel to brake clearance - even with stock brakes, but 5.5" BS will have the wheel hitting the tie rods on the inside - requiring a spacer to clear. Nothing a 0.25" spacer is not going to remedy.
