I need your honest opinion. I bought the TT II’s a while back, but now I am starting to question weather I like the bigger wheel look. What do you think, prefer the 16” rally or the 17” 18” TT II?

the pics are kinda small but from what I can see I like the TT`s
 
TTII I am leaning towards the 17 with a little more sidewall...don't like the 18 thin rubberband look...as TT calls them.

What profile would you get, 50? The 17's on the front of my car are 45's and the profile height is exactly the same for the 18's on the back with 40's

The picture with the 16" rallys the tires are 55's

I like both too but the rallies are just perfect on a chrome bumper. 255-50-16 would be a great fit for these, can you get the trim rings in 16" ???

ok with some help (from Josh) I figured what the left side of this mouse thingy is for...clicked and made the pics BIG and I still like the TT`s....
 
Moving the ebrake cable to up top or behind the rotor, makes 275/50/17 work in the rear, and limiting the steering radius in front makes 255/50/17 work ok...still an tighter circle than a C4--87 anyway....

now as to looks, see my site for a few shots...I think the 17" 50 series whatevers fill the wells good enough....

but I apparently have not lowered the car much, even with the updated suspension....

can't say why, just is...

Just looked at them at tirerack.com 235/55-17. Maybe too much sidewall?

The outer part of the wheel is chrome plated so you don't need a trim ring.

Here's a pic of TTIIs on my '73 with the 235/55-17's.

I think they TTII's look good. I also think the rim to tire ratios are perfect.
