View Full Version : Anyone using the old or new Torque Thrust D's?

What size are you using on the rear and what backspacing are they? I see 3.75" bs listed for their 15x7 and 15x8-1/2 wheels and I was wondering if that combination will fit properly. Everyone says to go with 4-4.5" bs so will 8-1/2" rims with 3.75 bs cause problems? Anybody got pictures of the 8-1/2's on their car?

Jeff,

A buddy tried the TTII's in a 15X8" with 3.75" b.s. and even with rolling the inside of the fender it wasn't enough to not rub (69 Camaro). Ended up with a 5" b.s. as he's going to swap to rear discs. Ended up costing a lot more for the custom offset, and they don't even offer that option with the torque thrusts.

Kind of a pet peeve of mine to charge so much more to get an offset that most cars need to fit properly. 3.75" with a 15X8.5 would fit VERY few cars.

By the way, the 15X7's would fit fine. But not the 8.5's.

I'm using TTD's 7x15 with 235/60/15 BFG's front and rear. The car is lowered 1" front and rear. No rubbing problems as yet. I don't think there's much room for anything bigger. The offset is 3.75". Car is '67 with crate 350, 700R4 and power front discs.
