The inevitable AR Torque Thrust II's. 15x8, 3.75" backspacing. Needed to use a 5/16" spacer on the rears to clear the calipers, fronts cleared as-is.

since you asked..... here are my drag radials mounted on aftermarket rallye wheels, using my stock center cap. 15x8 but they look a lot like the stock wheels. I needed a thin spacer and still had to dremel the calipers slightly, but they cleared.

Halibrand 5 spokes. They'll go on after the new composite spring and offset trailing arms are installed. I'll miss them in my office though. Maybe I'll bring in a Rallye.

For the guys that are using spacers what kind are you using. I just bought new wheels and will need a 1/2" spacer. Are you just using the ''one size fits all'' type? I was trying to find some that fit just the 5-4.75" bolt pattern but it seems they dont exist.
