TT2 15s? pics?

does anyone have TT2s in 15" size. im trying to decide between 15X9.5 or 17x11s. I like have a tall bigger tire, looks beefier. however i like the slammed look of 17s with springs.

so anyways im yet to see a 3rd gen with 15' TT2s. Maybe with a ram air 2 hood?

im thinking about using a 295/50/15 tire as well

i've never seen one on 15's. i know there was a picture posted with a car with 16 tt2, and they looked way to small to me. i ordered a set of 17 inch, thinking they would look bigger, but i had them on one weekend and sold them because i thought they looked smaller then 17's.

i would say get 17's if you get them at all. its going to look better in the end

if you plan to go the custom route , like boyd coddingtons, do not and i repeat do not get 15 inch smoothies like i have , they looks horrible , get the 17s from boyd, but if you want 15s get the tt2's.

the pics of older fbodies like 1st gens look decent with 15s - TT2s but even then they look sort of smallish. I was just interested in maybe getting a beefy setup that looks more like a drag/strip car than a low flashy racer. 15s are cheap as well as 15' tires so i dont know.

I still think im going to go with 17x11 rear & 17x9.5 front with 275s front 315s rear. if i got 15s it would be 295 rear and 275 front. not sure about the fit (horizontally) with such tall tires.

id still like to see some 15s because they might look too small. I think it might look ok with outside white lettering. i saw one with Cragar ss 15s and it looked aweful.

im really looking into getting 17x9.5 in the rear and 17x8 in the front

315s on the back i think are a little to big maybe 275s or 295s at most

not sure id like to see pics of 315
