I have Torque Thrusts, but would have to admit that the '88 IROC wheels look pretty cool.

I like the IROC's also. With the IROC's don't you have to use all rear's because of the off set?

actually Russ I use fronts 4 3/4 BS on front with 225/50/16 and rears on rear and 5 1/4 BS rear with 245/50/16 rear with my ride height every thing clears perfect IF you run Rears on the front you can have issues on the strut rods I used 5 1/4 BS on the front of another Vair and would rub at close to full lock and with these the are close but have never touch the strut rod even at full lock with the 225 tire. On the rear I just trimmed the toe adjuster a little I think I can even use a 255/50/16 rear

On my Buicks I have always fought with back spacing and I always run as wide a tire as I can on my cars and as low as I can go for our roads in Canada.
My torque Thrust 2's I had custom made 16 X 8 - 5 1/4" BS and 16 X 7 - 4 3/4" BS made for my 65 Sportwagon and they just happen to fit all my cars very well with wide tires

I like your wheel display. Gives other members some good ideas for what looks best on a V-8 Conversion.

After I saw the pictures of your car with the Rally wheels, it's all I can feature on my 65. Even got me thinking a different color as well

your coupe looks great

I think the IROCs look best, but - those certainly aren't the stealthiest.

I like the IROC wheels as well. Love the color! What color did you use?
