18" TTII's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

youwish2bme · 06-30-2011, 10:47 PM

I've been looking thru a lot of threads including the picture thread and have not found the definative answer about American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. I would like to go with a 18" or 20" wheel but need to know the width and backspacing. If there is a thread where this was discussed please let me know. I've looked thru the archive and have not seen a response that would answer these questions. Thank you so much!!

Mine are 17's but I think you run the same backspacing on the 18's and 20's here is a thread with pictures and info in post #5....

youwish,
Are you looking to run staggered sizes or same front and back? Also, if someone could do a photoshop of your truck with gray spoke AR TT II's would be fun to see.

I'm surprised that more have not posted in this thread there are so many sweet looking trucks in the picture thread but a lot of those don't list wheel and tire specs. I REALLY on want to do this once...

Mine were 18x8 with 4.5"bs in front and 18x10 with 5.25"bs in the rear . Tires were 255/55/18 front and 275/60/18 rears . Never rubbed or touched anywhere and it rode great. It was lowered with Western Chassis 2.5 spindles in front and 4" drop leafs in the rear .

Where did you get your Drop Leafs? and did it drop a true 4" ?

You got it Frank... Dave is a good friend of mine and bought the red/white truck. I still have my black 87.
We have the same tastes in Corvettes, muscle cars, and trucks. Dave will continue to improve on where I left off. Can't wait to see it with the 18" AR's installed.

Yeah man, I have almost gotten my order together for my parts on what I want to do. I really would like to find a good price on the AR TTII's!! Been working hard and haven't had the time to research pricing yet..
