Roguehound · 02-20-2000, 08:18 AM

i'm trying to go wheel shopping soon and i was wondering if anyone has anything on 67's and what backspacing/bolt pattern info i need to go. i remember mustang's plus saying they fit 17x8 torq II's on a car lowered 1&1/2 inches with low profile tires without tire rub. what can i get going??... im looking into some cragars and welds on summit. any info would be appreciated

I just bought 15x7 American Eagles 55s for my
65 coupe. I got a good deal on these wheels
new & was as is backspacing. my rear axle is 1" longer on both sides & I needed a back spacing of 4.5. The tires now stick out about 3/4 on an in.I have 2 or three ins over
tire to wheel. Havent tested it for rub when
bump is hit. Try this link for Back spacing info:<b>http://web.wt.net/~gilbert/backspacing.html<br> I know American Racing offers backspacing Cragar Im not sure. Cragar & Torque Dhrust Ds are my favorite.
Hope this helps.

I personally have a great liking for the Torq thrust D's. especially on classic mustangs, that is why I put them on my 66 coupe. You don't have to worry about back spacing or anything, they'll fit.
