Torq-Thrusts

[franciscocl7]

Hi guys, I found this photo in Classic trucks magazine, I think the 17´s torq-thrusts wheels are awesome.

The info in the magazine for this wheels is only 17´s X 9.5 in.

Any idea about the offset in the rear wheels and the front wheels?

I want to use the same wheels for my CHIQUIBABY.

On my old 17's I ran 255/50's and 275/50's.
Look at Nitto 450 series tires.

We sell American Racing wheels and would be more than happy to help you out. Yeah, American Racing can be slow at times and have the back ordered items as mentioned, but can be worth the wait to get exactly what you want.

American Racing offers 2 styles of torq-thrusts. They have the 1 piece version that are only available in certain offsets..... then they have the 2 pc. that you can get is a wide range of backspaces. The backspace that your truck needs for the 9.5" on the rear, is not available in the 1 pc. version. You would have to go with the 2 pc. version to to get the right offsets and have it look right.

I think it is a great looking wheel with a classic design.

Here is a link to the 2 pc. custom built Torq-Thrust on our site.

i bought these american racing torque thrusts 18x8 and 18x9 from a company call REV wheels through one fo their distributers for $700 shipped to my door, with lug nuts and new valve stems. REV is very helpful if you call them with a question.

I think they will look great. I have ordered them for 71 chevy truck 17x8 and will use 275/50/17 Nitto tires. But the major problem is that there is a major shortage nation wide. I have checked all over and all I get is out of stock. Now a couple places localy said that I could order one. Will I need 4. So it looks like sometime in June they will apear. From what I understand is that the major distrabution house did not order enough so it caused a nation wide shortage. And this is only for the Torq Thrust rims. Pretty sad. I have finnaly saved up for them and now I have to wait.

Out of stock on the 1 Pc. version, but can build the 2 pc. version in about 4 weeks. A set of 17x8's would run $1,400 for the set.

No thanks. A little to steap for me. I ordered them from wheelsforless.com with shipping a total $789.91. Can't beat that price. If I have to wait a little longer for them fine. It just makes me mad that I finnaly saved up the money for them and I can't get them. Last week I ordered a new back window and a new master cylinder, no problem I got them.I now wish I did this early on in the year. Oh well.

I know what you mean. You will have to post up some pictures when you get them on. That price I gave you is for the 2 piece version, custom built, which is more than the 1 pc. version. The 1 pc. version would have been the same price you got from WheelsForLess.com
