is anybody on here using american racing torqlite wheels on their 67-72 truck?

Is this the wheel you are talking about? I bought a set for our 67 and got the wrong backspacing. I already had tires mounted on 2 wheels before I discovered the problem. I ordered 4.5 inch backspacing which was too much for the front. It was perfect for the back. I got them from Jeg's for 135.00 plus shipping.

yes those are the exact wheels i am talking about. what backspacing did you use for the front?

I ended up sending 2 wheels back and ordering different wheels. The ones I wanted to order were the 15x7 with 4 inch backspacing but those are only made on a limited basis and I could not find any when I need wheels. I still have 2 of the 15x8 sitting in boxes.

ok so baisicallly what i understand is that if you were to get that style, get 8's in the back with 4.5'' backspacing, and 7's for the front with 4'' backspacing correct?

That is what would have worked on my truck. I converted it to disc up front with componets from ECE. It may be different for your truck.

allrighty. do you have any pics of the wheels on your truck?

Moose67 · 03-22-2009, 08:41 PM

Never got them installed on the truck. Would not fit on the front and still had 6 lug axles out back at the time. I had them sitting on the front with no lugnuts but never took any pics, was too mad at the fact that they would not work.
