Anyone know whose truck this is and what wheels he has?

I kinda assume they're typical Torq Thrust II's but I'm wondering the size, width, back space?

I'm with Dan - sure would like to know the particulars (backspace, etc.) on these. Just what I'm looking for.

Cheers, Jim

I bought a set of 1996 Impala SS wheels for $200 with tires.


Don't look too bad on this old dog.

Coupe guy, I really, really like those on your truck. VERY nice. I don't know if it's that your truck is a long bed or what but they look great. Congrats. Screaming deal too!

Coker classic 225/75/15 , 8"wheel

[Coupeguy2001]

Thanks Guys,
I accidentally found the ad for the wheels on craigslist and went for it.
The guy I got the wheels from bolted them on his truck, and got about a foot when he realized they were rubbing on his ball joints, or tie rods, so I had a little cleanup to do on the inside of the wheels.
So since he couldn't use them, he flipped them, and I ended up with them.

Be aware, the lugs are 5 on 5 instead of 4 3/4.

I have a 72 chevy truck rear end under it, and "racing " discs from Speedway to use them.
The 72 rear end is 8" wider than a stock TF rear, and so I had to have flat wheels. The rear fender lips are rolled with an aluminum baseball bat, and then finished up with home depot paint sticks and C clamps to get the 1/4" clearance on the outside of the tires.
I have 3" dropped springs, so there is no side to side play so the tires do not rub.
The wider stance really helps it corner with the 1 1/8" sway bars

The wheels are 9" wide, and the tires ended up being 10 3/4 " wide. 27 inches tall with 255/50/17
on all 4 corners.
Unfortunately, the Impala SS is the only car that uses that size tire. Tire price is about $150 per tire.

I have a 58 3200 fleetside. I found some 15 x 8.5 rims on Craigslist I like. They are 3.25 Back spacing(from wheel mount surface to inside of rim. My stock rims are 3.5" BS. Anyone running this size have opinions/experience on clearance in the rear, or steering (no power steering) with wide fronts?

Tubed Bias 6 16

[ebernst]

I'm still working on putting mine together, but here they are. It is a 15" x 7" GM steel wheel with the original style hub cap that I have to drill into the wheel to fasten the hubcaps. Those are also the ribbed bot rod style chrome trim rings.



The tires are Coker Classic Radials, 225/75/15. Heres the build thread if you're interested.

[MiraclePieCo]

Nothing fancy, but I like 'em.

[mikec4193]

Still trying to figure out how to get more speed out of a 1958 Chevy car engine and a 4 speed transmission with 4.10 gears in the rear end...my latest try is a pair of 16" wheels with 235/85/16's on the rear....so I found a pair of trailer wheels with the correct bolt pattern...and they fit under the fenders too....less than $150.00 I think shipped to my door...





31" tall for the rear tires now...Howard Knapp now can get up to 53 mph....yahooooo

Very nice.
Can you give some more information on the trim rings?

[ebernst]

Sure. I purchased a set from eBay, new. They were called "ribbed" beauty rings. Here is what they look like.
