Hello,

Can you give the specifics of the wheel width, tire size, and backspace? Alot of times it is a direct swap over...

Here is my old 97 w/17" Torque Thrusts ... 4-6 static drop, Silverado w/Jimmie shell ... sold it several years ago to my best bud who still has it ... get to see it at least once a week.

Valhalla · 12-07-2010, 03:25 PM

All depends on if you will still want 20's later. If you do you can always sell the torq's then but I buy what I want 1 time to avoid that situation.

68Stepbed · 12-07-2010, 03:57 PM

Just got mine a few weeks ago. Lowered 3.5/5

Bennett68C10 · 12-07-2010, 06:05 PM

This is why everybody has these wheels they just look amazing on these trucks. I say buy the 17's off your buddy as long as the backspacing is correct. They will look great on your truck, you can always upgrade to 20's later and sell the torq thrusts.

Bennett68C10 · 12-07-2010, 06:08 PM

Hey 68Stepbed are your wheels the new 1 piece TT II's or the 2 piece.

68Stepbed · 12-07-2010, 06:19 PM

That's kinda a funny question. They're both!

I bought the fronts used off Craigslist. I ended up ordering new rear wheels from Jeg's. I asked them to make sure if they were the TTII or the TT2.1. They siad they were just TTII's, but they weren't. It's hard to tell the difference unless you know what you're looking at.

The 1-piece 2.1 wheels are lighter and seem to have a nicer finish than the 2-piece TTII.

chuckmc8 · 12-07-2010, 07:27 PM

This 67 is one of my faves

chuckmc8 · 12-07-2010, 07:31 PM

here is mine on 15" TTO

David67 · 12-07-2010, 08:42 PM

I've got 17x8's on my '67. check out my build thread in my sig. I have an ECE 4/6 and only the cab's on so it'll go a little lower once everything goes on.

19seventeeCustom · 12-07-2010, 10:18 PM

buy em....get tired of em and sell em for some 20" TT2's..!!!

seriously though, a 20" TT is one of the sickest wheels you can put on these trucks when lowered enough......hard to beat, but a little costly.

Today 05:08 PM

The reason i asked is because Newstaglia wheels has a deal on ebay right now for 2 of the 2.1 1 piece wheels in 17x8 w/ 4" bs for $375 plus free shipping. I was thinking about going this route but then i would have to order the two piece wheels for the rear to get the correct backspacing. I have the original 68 rear on my truck and the 5.5" bs they offer on the 17x9.5 rims is to much and i don't want to run spacers. Of course i'm also thinking coys rims as well, ah decisions lol.

Sorry for hijacking your thread leos11104.

leos11104 · 12-07-2010, 11:15 PM
