Re: Torq Thrust Rims
Rich, here are a couple of pictures of a 69 SS396 that I installed a new set of 15 x 7 Torque Thrust D's (std offset)with BFG 215/70-15 tires. These tires are equal to the E70-15 tires found on 69 Z's originally. I usually run 235/70-15's on the rear and 225/70-15's on the front with 7" rims but this customer wanted a tire size that was close to the 69 Z. We dropped the front end about 2" with a spring change to give it the rake it has.
A friend of mine was running 15 x 8 Torque Thrust II's (polished) 0 offset on the rear with 255/60-15 tires but had to remove about 1/4" of the wheel lip for clearance. He could have dropped down to a 245/60-15 and probably would have been just fine...................RatPack............
