A Picture is worth a thousand words ! Torque Thruster II's

calipers are about 1/16" clearance from the rims, very close clearance on the calipers.
some have had to shave the caliper lettering off for clearance.

Default Don't think you will....

need back spacing !
According to many threads, only the SS Cragars required back spacing. The TT2's is bolt on and shine and go !
