Default Wheel dilemma

Hello again all, well the torq thrusts I have are not going to work, they are not torq thrust Ds and with the spacers they will hit the fenders.

I am going to purchase the correct toq thrust Ds for the 69 corvette, what am i looking for as far as backspace goes... will 4" work?

Here's the TT II that I have. I have no spacers or made any type of modification to the suspension. They are a direct bolt on. As long as they have a 4" back space and a 4 3/4" bolt pattern, you shouldn't have any problems at all. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ameri...el,364760.html

Thanks guys, looks like the place I purchased them from is gonna replace them out with TT2 15x8 with a 3.80 backspace ( no 4" backspace available) but looks like it's gonna work.

I am putting the original rallies back on tomorrow with new 255/60s intlstalled and will check my clearance knowing they are 4" backspace... will see if i have enough clearance for 2/10ths of an inch
