I had an eight inch narrowed beam with 5 inch backspace with my TT 2's.

35 MM offset would be best. If you have to go different, go slightly larger. This way, as the wheel moves inward towards the suspension, you can use spacers to move it out towards the fender. If you go smaller than 35 MM, you will be pushing out towards the fender and might have to widen the fenders. Of course, this is with a stock size beam.
