Torque Thrust "D'" 65 coupe new photos
Looking at torque thrust D rims. What size rims(width/backspacing) will fit my 65 without clearance issues? What size tire will also fit?
I know this subject has been posted and reposted so please bear with me. Looking for wheels and tires for my 65 coupe. Have seen a prior post stating the torque thrust II have a clearance issue. The rally rims that were on the car now rub since I welded the parking brake tabs back on. What tire and rims are being run without interference? Please post photos rim size, offset, and tire size if possible

Wow, never heard of putting the parking brake brackets back to stock. If you do that, then a lot of wheels and tires will rub.

I might add i also have disc brakes, the 4.25 backspace will put the wheel further towards the middle of the car, so you will have less clearance next to the brake line and shocks.
When i was ready i bought one rim and one tire and checked the wheel fit, if it looked ok when just sitting on the lugs and you cleared the caliper then mount the tires on the wheel. Once the tire is mounted on the wheel its yours. If it not going to work, you only have to send one set back.

There are some very pretty cars in this thread but I really like a white mid year. And thanks to all who submitted wheel and tire sizes, I am wanting to put on a set of TTs on my Corvette!
