Re: American TTO 5-spoke fitment problems
That sucks... if a 15x7 4.75 bolt pattern torq thrust won't fit a 69 Camaro, they made a huger error in the specs for these wheels, as i would bet that a very large percentage of people buying these wheels will want to use them on 69 Camaros. I had the "other" new TT's (rounded spoke versions) on my camaro in a 15x6 and had no clearance problems... backspacing was identical to the stock rally wheels... I know thats also true of the 15x7's... don't know why they'd make the TTO's with a different backspacing. Wheel spacers suck though, maybe modify the calipers a bit? are they hitting the caliper or just the caliper brackets? I had a vintage set that rubbed the brackets once, but they were 14"s... IMO, I'd put those suckers on ebay and go find a "real" old school set of em...

Re: American TTO 5-spoke fitment problems
I think the problem with this particular car is that it has 68 style calipers on it, not the smaller 69 calipers. See this: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show.../page/0#212370

Re: American TTO 5-spoke fitment problems
The wheels will not clear a four piston caliper. I had the same problem on my 69 with JL8 front calipers. I had to use longer wheel studs and a small spacer. A little bit of agravation to find correct length wheel studs but worked out.
