What width, diamter and backspacing are the front and rear rims? Are they Torque thrusts?

Details please....

That's a cool truck. Now you have me thinking about making my truck a "tribute" to the service truck we had at a Pure Oil station I worked at in the fifties.
That's a good looking pit crew that you have there also.

Thanks for the comments guys....The truck has a sub-frame from a 1978 buick regal and the rear is from the same car.It has front and rear sway bars and the engine is a 327 with double humps and a 5spd trans. The wheels are torque thrust 17x8 with 255-50s in the rear and 17x7 in the front with
235-45's. The column is out of a 70's chevy van and the seats are out of a
90's caravan. Its got dolphin gauges and cd player. I did the paint and logo my self. This is definately not a show truck she is still rough around the edges, but hey thats the way I like'em Again thanks for the nice comments and have a blessed day

Thanks for the info.

Any idea what the backspacing is on the front and back rims.

Trying to understand what they would look like with different backspacings for my truck. The C4 vette suspension is kind of wide and I would like to have some outer lip on the rims. Thinking 4.5" backspacing on an 8" wide rim will be about perfect for the rear, front TBD yet.

I'm pretty sure they are 4" inch back spacing on the front and the back. I have had those wheels a long time.
