Just a note. I believe its stated in this thread that American Racing Torq Thrust Ds will not fit without a spacer. That is incorrect. They bolt right up; no interference. Not sure how this rumor started; I've read it several times on this forum. TTDs were actually engineered for Corvettes with disc brakes back in the 60s when Vettes first had disc brakes. The "D" stands for disc.

The set of 15x10 (3.75" BS) TTD's I bought in 2010 or '11 required a 1/4" spacer to clear the calipers. No rumor, just fact. Maybe it's size dependent, I hear the 16x8's (8's ) clear.
The "D" stood for disc at some point, but not really any longer. American Racing probably forgot what it meant.

It's a rumor until proven otherwise. If somebody has pics showing TTDs interfering with calipers please post them.
