Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing

[berger]

bill I don't think the link worked to the auction, I think I actually found them by entering atlas in the ebay search engine, the 4 chevy ones he has , our two rear 8.5x15, and two front 15x7, then he has another two mopar lug ones at 15x7, so you get to choose what 4 you want, they all look nos, and he put american caps on them to boot, he said they're all over 35yrs old, never damaged, 1500 buy it price. A nice alternative I think.

I forgot to put the link in to ebay, but I see Jeff already has. I am pretty certain that I am going to pull the trigger on the wheels I found, as the price really seems fair (at least compared to the set on ebay). I just have to decide on center caps. Actually, the repro TTD's I have now I run without caps and I like the look, and I didn't like the plastic caps that came with them.

Of course if I really wanted to stand out in a crowd I could select one of the wheels that Supercar kid shared with us. I bet I could get a deal on any one of those styles

I don't think the 15x8.5 wheels on Ebay will fit the rear of a first gen Camaro with the 3.75" backspacing they have. I think you need at least 4.5" and probably 4.75" of backspacing to fit the rear. My 16x8 Vintage Wheelworks torq thrust style wheels fit 255/50 tires with 4.5" of backspacing but it's close on the qtr lip.

The plan is for 15 X 7 on all 4 corners, I wanted 6's front and 7's rear, but can't find that

Are the dragmaster torque thrust wheels close to the atlas torque thrust look???

[Belair62]

They are very very similar....in fact in the TT oic I posted...the straight spoke is actually an International Dragmaster.......Bill......68 calipers are harder to fit than 69's...better check them...the 15x7 D's have a very special offset and I am pretty sure they will work on a Camaro but I've never stried...if you look at the picture I posted you can see it's a different offset

[BillD]

The person I am buying these from is going to try them on an early Corvette caliper, and then we will try to find a 68 Camaro with the correct calipers in his area to give the wheel a try. If we can't find a 67-68 camaro by him we will ship one wheel to me as a trial to make sure before we ship all of them. I think they will work, but just want to make sure before I get them. I would rather be out a few $ on freight then have 4 wheels I can't use at the moment. I already have too many parts hanging around that I could use someday on something

Well, I have finally picked Team III Wheels Classic ET 5 Spokes, due to the straight spoke design and the fact that they seem to be the only manufacture who can make the wheels in the backspacing I need. Unfortunately, they take 6 weeks to get.

If anyone has had negative experience with this company or product, please let me know.

Thanks again for everyone's very informative input.
