Default TorQ Thrust Wheels

I would like to put 17 inch Torq Thrust wheels - with 215/45/17s in front, 225/45/17s in the rear - on my '65 Coupe. Will I have any problem fitting this combo in the wheel wells and does anyone know what offset I will need for the wheels?

Many thanks

I just saw a beautiful 66 conv. last weekend at a show. He had installed 235/4517's on rear and 215/45/17's on front on TTII's.

Now everyone has their own tastes, but this car had the "rubber band " tire look. The fenderwells looked absolutley empty. Even the owner commented on it and he was going back this week to put some 275/45's on the rear and move the 235's to the front.

Unless you're really lowered it doesn't look right to me.

Just my .02 worth.
