Torq Thrust II Wheels (what backspacing?)
I saw a 68' today with what appeared to be 16 or 17" American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels...
I have a 69' with the stock 15" rallye wheels (8"). What would I order to swap these out for the 16" Torq Thrust II's???

4" BS no clearance problems.jughead cool car!!!! just visited your website. So you are not using any spacers and you have no rubbing problems in the front when you are lock to lock? and no problems in the rear on full wheel movement?

Nope, no spacers. I wanted a wheel that worked without spacers. When I first installed them I did have a little frame/tire rubbing on the left front...but only on very,very tight turns. But I haven't heard that rubbing recently.
