Torque Thruster II
I found a set that could be purchased reasonable
question is will they fit my 1972 coupe?
They are 17 x 8 and currently on a C-4.

you need to know the backspace. if they bolt straight on to a c4 you will need adapters

And I may have the spacers you need locally. At least you will be able to check them out. Send me a PM if you need to borrow them

15" Torque Thrust wheels will not normally fit on a C3. They don't clear the brake calipers. Corvette Central sells them for the C3 but they are specially manufactured by American Racing for them so they fit, and they charge accordingly. They sell for about $250 pop. The 17" should fit if the backspacing is correct.

So, what's the backspacing? If it's 4", they should work awesome. If they came off a C4, something tells me they won't work without spacers.

They fit close but dont rub anywhere, the tires should ok also. I wait now for his C-5 WHEELS to arrive and mine comes off the stands. I measured these this morning and the appear to have 4` backspacing isnt this stamped into the wheel somewhere?
