How about some pics of lowered c10s/r10s on torq thrusts!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to decide on wheels, and I just would like to see pics of trucks with American Racing Torq Thrusts and Torq thrust IIs. Post wheel and tire sizes too!! Thanks!!

Funny you should ask...I just purchased these wheels and tires a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier with them.

These are 20x8 in the front with 245 40 20 and 20x10 rear with 305 35 20. The front has a 4.5" backspace and the rears have 5.75". I plan on running a longer hardened stud on the rear axles so I can use a 1/2" spacer per side to push them closer to the fender. They don't rub but they would look better out further IMO.

Thanks! It actually rides really nice to. I'm currently working on a separate frame to get it on air but progress is very slow due to my schedule.

I understand that. I have almost the same suspension set up on my 87. Really like 20" rims, but the 17s with meaty rear tires give it more of a muscle look.

Kaysen · 02-01-2015, 03:53 AM

The 17" chrome tt2s is the way I'm going, then I'll ditch the 15" polished ones that are in it now. I prefer the muscle truck look that 17's give like bluexs has

Here's the one I keep going back to, it's classic87's before he went to 20s

What BS are you running front and rear?

ultrahd4me · 02-09-2015, 09:02 AM

I think they are 4.5" on the front and 5.5" on the rear, but I'm also running 1.25" spacers on the rear to bring them out as far as possible.

85supersierra · 02-08-2015, 01:30 AM

Ochiiit is it just me or are you missing a clamp on you rad hose? Nice truck no replacement for displacement!

Thank you sir, and yes you are correct. That pic was recently when motor swap was done. The truck had a higher compression 468 that I had to run good fuel in and at $7.99 a gallon it don't make daily driving reasonable! It now has a flat top 468 that runs on 93.

'79squared · 02-08-2015, 02:25 PM

One of the best, if not THE BEST looking wheels for our trucks. They all look great guys.

Oregoon · 02-11-2015, 07:12 PM

Great looking wheels and a lot of really nice trucks. I too love the torq thrusts! Right up there with Cragars, Ansens, Weld Drag-stars or stock-steelies.

Personally, I am not a fan of anything over 16" but that's my preference... And I have to admit, they still look good in the larger sizes.
