Torque thrust 2 fitting
What is the widest torque thrust 2 we can rig into the rear of our vettes
Will this fit?
505-71163 17x11 45 7.75 5x4.75 93-on Camaro/Firebird
45 being the offset and 7.75 being the backspacing?

Those won't fit, chief - you'd need almost a 4" spacer to make it work (with stock trailing arms). The biggest you can fit with a stock trailing arm is 17x8 with 4" backspacing, -11 offset, 5x4.75 bolt circle - American Racing part number 505-7861.

Re: Torque thrust 2 fitting (WPEDirect)
they make a more friendly trailing arm cause 17x8 is too skinny

I just like the width of 275's -- I know with the 11 inch rims we could throw 315s in the back
If I could order a custom 17x9.5 with 4 inch backspacing I could run 275s

It depends on how much you are willing to mod your car. Check out Groovyjay's setup - he's running 20"x10" rears with 285/30/20 Pirelli P-Zeroes.

So offset trailing arms and custom backspacing and offset wheels I can do
I think I can get offset trailing arms from VBP
