Default Re: What size Torque Thursts and tires on '68 Camaro??

Back in the day, I had a 68 Z28 and put TT's on it that were 15 by 7 with F70's and they rubbed on the front. Dropped back to E70's and they still hit the bright aluminum trim around the front opening. I notched it at the top and no further problem. Back was not a problem with the F70's.

The T70R is a American 5-spoke that was made for a short period of time then reproduced recently. It has a little bit of a flange on the edge of the spokes and it has more offset to the inside than the TTO 5-spokes.

OK........I'll look into a set of those.....It appears that offsetting the wheel in some will help tire clearance at the back edge of the wheelwell......

From the looking I've done, it appears that Torque Thrusts only come in 4.5&quot; or 7&quot; in light grey or 5&quot; or 7&quot; in dark grey......and the T70R is only available in 7&quot;...........
