I believe I've got Ds on my '76. The spokes do run close to the calipers (just a couple of mm clearance) but they do work. 8" wide, 4" backspacing, I think.
This photo doesn't make the rear window obvious so perhaps it's useful.
Besides, I love the photo.

thats perfect I ment pretty much any Vette from 1968 - 1982 so I could see what they looked like on that shape of vette so the back window is not that big a deal. I wish my vette had that back end cuz I like it better

Torque Thrust D's
I have Torque Thrust D's on my 69.
15X4.5 on the front & 15X10 on the back.
I don't remember the backspacing on the front, but the back was 3.75 in. I needed longer studs front & rear (3/8ths I think).
The rear needed 1/4" spacers & the fronts needed 510 thousanths.
I had to have the fronts made at a machine shop. (20 bucks each)
I love these wheels on my car, but knowing what I know now, I would have gone with Vintage Wheel Works. They need NO Spacers & the price is very, very close.

I have the TTO's in a 17 x 8 with a 4" backspacing. No issues, but I am adding 3/8" spacers to get them out a bit in the fenderwells.
I will probably have to replace all the studs with longer ones, but that might not be a bad idea with a 26 year old sports car anyway!
