Default Torque Thrust II owners please help!

I am ready to make the plunge and get a set of chrome Torque Thrust IIs. I am sick and tired of polishing the aluminum wheels.

Anyways, I need 15'' wheels, since I have brand new tires and don't want to buy new tires also.

What backspacing and lug pattern for 15'' Torque Thrusts should I order, so that I do not need to use spacers??

Thanks in advance!!

For my '69, I use 15x7, 4.75" bolt pattern, 3.75" backspacing. These fit perfectly without spacers on stock Vettes. See link....

I purchased a set from Summit Racing and the customer service was FANTASTIC! I had purchased a set of Cragars from them and when they didn't fit (needed almost a 1" spacer), I called them and they immediately did a "call tag" & picked them up the next day (at no cost to me!). In the meantime, they sent the TTII...all this without additional freight charges. When you order them, make sure you tell them they are going on a 19XX Corvette...that way they will ensure the right wheel. As far as spacers...don't need them!

Call Tomzwheels. He's a forum vendor. Tell him what year you have and he'll get you the right wheel. Also, he's less expensive than anyone else.

There was a guy in the parts section last week that was wanting to swap a set of 15" TTII's for a stock set.
