Default AR Torque Thrusts

I have 7 inch/ wide/15 inch diameter Torque Thrusts on my 65. They have a 3-3/4 backspace and have no issues with the calipers. I either got them from Jegs or Summit, can't remember. The only real issue I had was slight rubbing at the rear fender lip. I trimmed about 1/8 inch, problem solved. I also run 1 degree of negative camber. Tires are 225 R 15s.

No lug nut holes, solid back. Is that a giant TTO ash tray??

I guess if you are a smoker, it would be perfect! It’s about 10 inches in diameter! I did think about cutting the back open, and even machining in rim lips. But that takes some of the novelty away!

10"! That's too small even for a golf cart.
Crager still makes 4 spoke 12" wheels for golf carts, came across them when shopping for 4 spokes for my Pinto.

That's funny!!!!! You should join us over in PRC with that type of humor!

Some guy that used to run Gassers at Lions, Irwindale, OCIR, gave this "we will call it an ashtray" to me! I have had it near 35 years.

I have TT D’s on my ‘64 and they look great. At some point I want to move to a 17” wheel, but these work fine for now.
