Hey guys,

I love the look of the old school torq thrust's (not the ones replica tt II'S on the 03-04 gt) But the torq trust original or "D" style. They have 0 offset with about 3.5" back spacing yet the site lists they will not work. I know our cars had some offset 30mm or so, with about 4.5" backspacing but I fail to see why these wont work. anyone have a set with a pic? any ideas? thanks all!

what's the width and diameter of the wheels. i'm assuming these are AR wheels right?

caliper clearence is probably more of an issue than offset

the 15x10 US mags i had on my '69 mach1 will fit (and clear the calipers) the '03, but stick out about 2 1/2"

yeah these are american racing wheels, 17x8"..considered a vintage series. I know some wheels have caliper clearance issues. they are not listed to fit, using thier application guide on thier web page but figured Id ask guys that maybe had some experience.
