Question regarding TT wheels.

On another note, do you guys get much tramlining/rut-seeking behavior with the TTs? I do. On bad roads, I really have to have a good grasp on the wheel because the car wants to follow all the ruts and crowns. On good roads its a non-issue and the car tracks straight and drives nice, but it is a workout on some of the torn up roads around here.

Let me throw something else out there. Would the offset of the front wheels have anything to do with it? I have been reading that some people suggest spacers to make the wheels more flush with the rears. Does anyone think that could be a contributing factor?

I am bumping this to hear from others with TT wheels. Do any of you guys with TT wheels NOT have this isssue? If so, can you share your alignment specs and suspension setups? I for sure have this going on up front, and don't want to put another set of tires on these wheels if they are going to wear like this again.

I never had any of these issues when I had the Supra wheels for a few years on and off.
The tires are good year all seasons 275 rear 245 front.
Factory alignment and lowered about 2-2.5".
Probably the best riding non oem wheel that I had on this car. Rode nice and soft.

I have no real issues with them BUT I do have 20mm spacers up front and and usually have all 4 tires "flipped" on the rim every 10k or so also I have a custom alignment with 0 toe and 1.4- camber in the front as the camber is maxed so I need adjustable upper control arms to adjust beyond that.

I'm also running TT wheels on my sc300 and I noticed the inside of the front tires had much more wear than the outside. Glad I'm not the only one. I'm running 235/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 rear if that makes a difference.
