Default Torque Thrust II V/N 215

Can anyone tell me if these are the correct TT wheels for my ‘71. Now that I have my Motion accents on I feel that it needs the mags. I’m leaning towards the TT II, p/n 215 as that should not require any spacer. I’m Leary of using any spacer as I’m not sure what I’d need. I do like the look of the original TT D’s as the spokes seem to be angled or flared a little compared to the originals.
Any thoughts or advice if a spacer is OK using the original style. I was going to stay with the OE size all around, 15x8.
I’ve thought about slotted mags, as those look pretty sharp also.

Thanks guys.

American Racing 1055861 15x8.5 with 3.77" backspace and 255/60s on both with no spacers and no rub




US vintage mags 15x8.5 with 3.4" backspace and couldn't use 255/60s as they rubbed up front so went with 245/60s and no spacers

Hello,

I've always liked this look....
Rims finished quite 'brite'. Straight spokes quite dark.
More 'street car' than 'track car".

Regards...
