The Kelsey Hayes YJ8 wheels are 15x8 with 4 inch backspacing. And they look way better than the Torque Thrust Ds.

Zora insisted on them on his 74.

I got the car from a member on this forum it is a multiple top flight award winner. The owner I purchased the car from had it completely and correctly restored. The restore was about 5 years ago and he told me he only drove it a couple times. The car is unbelievably nice as he said it was. I believe he said stunning. It is I am very happy with the purchase
