Default Re: 15X7 tourqe thrusts

Here's a couple of options to get you cast 15x7's with a bit more backspacing:

Halibrand can machine these to 4.25" BS, 1/2" more than TT D's

Vintage Wheel Works V45s have 3-7/8"BS, so another 1/8". Maybe not enough.

Team # has their 5 window 15x7 available with 4.75"BS, which would essentially put the entire extra inch inboard compared to a Torq Thrust D 15x6 (w/its 3.625"BS), but not sure if there will be clearance problems with tie rod ends, sway bar, etc.

Finally, American's new versions of the T70R Torq Thrust have 1/4" more (4") backspacing in the 15x7 version compared to the Torq Thrust D or TTO

'69s need all the extra backspacing they can get, too, even with their bigger wheelwells.

Good luck!
