14x6 Vintage Torq Thrust on '72 with disk brakes?
I am curious if 14x6 vintage Torq Thrust wheels fit with the factory disk brakes on a '72? I have not yet looked to see if there is much clearance between the 15" wheel I have now. I am going to run a big/skinny set-up and don't mind the smaller wheels. I am not opposed to running a 1"-1.25" billet wheel spacer if that makes it work. Anyone have 14" wheels on your disk brake trucks?

IIRC 15" is the smallest diameter rim that will work period.

Re: 14x6 Vintage Torq Thrust on '72 with disk brakes?
IIRC there are a bunch of aftermarket wheels that are configured correctly to accept disc brakes. I have done several conversions, and have done a few with 14" wheels. My bet is that the TT2's would clear the disc brakes.

Re: 14x6 Vintage Torq Thrust on '72 with disk brakes?
I ended up going with original 14x6 ET V wheels with steel backs for more clearance & 1" spacers. Thanks for the help, forgot I started this thread but figured I would follow up with info.
