Has anyone got the summit racing torque thrust D knock off wheels? I was wondering how close they where. I love the torque thrust d's but dont want to pay 208.00 each from americaN RACING. sUMMIT WANTS 124.00 EACH.

think the Summit wheels are cast aluminum replicas not as strong and accorn nuts?

do you mean torque thrust II? i bought thses from summit and they are american racing wheels,i think 168.00 a piece,i like them and the free shipping

I wanted the Chrome Torque Thrust "D" wheels on my car but they would not fit the back wheel wells on my 67.. 2 reasons. They are only offered in 3 3/4 backspace, and no 8" wheels, only 8 1/2" wide. I could have gone with 7" all the way around but wanted 8" in the back... Beautiful wheels... I went with the chrome/polished Torque thrust II's..

Purchased mine from summit.. Good pricing, GREAT shipping costs, and over $1000 purchase NO interest for a year......

The biggest help I had on here was Lefty.. He had some great ideas and some insight from his car..

I have 225-60-15 on 15X7 wheels w/ 4" backspace on front.. NO problems at all.. I think 3 3/4 BS on the front would be fine on 7" wheels..

On the back, 245-60-15 on 15X8 w/5 1/4" backspace.. If I was to do it again I would probably go with 5" BS...

You need to remember that 7" wheels are actually 8" overall in width and the 8" are 9" overall.. Not sure but I think your belvedere wheel wells are slightly different in size than my dodge....

Reason is I get a little rub on the inside fender well on the pass side... BUT one thing non original in my car is the rear end.. wrong brakes and wrong ratio NON sure grip 742 third member.. My understanding is that the 68 and newer rears are a little different in length so possibly my rear is a 68 or newer??? I guess I need to measure it.
I ended up installing a firm feel rear sway bar and a 1/8" wheel spacer ( yes I hate spacers also) on the passenger rear... Everthing is fine now..

In case you don't know the chrome/polished torque thrust II wheels are pretty expensive.. Over $300 each... But its what I wanted..

Seems as if the standard polished aluminum 15X7 wheels on standard 3 3/4 BS are a pretty good deal, so you might want to spend some time on the summit website looking at all options including BS, as it can change the pricing up also..

Sorry to be so long winded, hope this helps..

Thanks for all your help. I know I'm supporting the chineese by buying theese most likely, but when saving up to 80.00 a wheel, I can't afford to be nation loyal. I have a family to support, and saving that much money helps!

I was thinking about trying they grey centered torque thrust d knock offs.

Heres some 17x9 bullit wheels on my '74 Dart.

Backspacing is 6.8" on all wheels. All the tires are 235/55/17, My next set of tires are going to the 275/45/17 in the rear and 225/45/17 front. I got all the wheels+tires in mint condition for $250 thanks to a friend But these are basically the exact same wheel and tire off of a 2005-2009 Mustang GT

Does anyone know how big of 17's will stuff on a callenger? Tires and wheels

Do the bullit wheels fit on an e body? If so what wheel spacers if any and what tire sizes? Thanks.

Personally, in todays world with so many options in wheels and backspacing, if you have to jack up the car or use wheel spacers you have the wrong wheels for your car.. They work, but it is incorrect...

Measure your wheel well areas, inside WW and outside WW, using a plumb bob, this will give you your max width and adjust for backspacing needed.. Really pretty simple.... Pay attention to how the wheel well sometimes curves in as it goes up, and watch your leaf springs.....
