Anyone running Torq Thrust 17x7 front and 17x8 rear?

[mismith]

I’ve decided on buying a set of VN309 TT O for my ‘66 short fleet. I’ll be doing a 3/4 drop and it already has discs up front.

I can’t decide on 17x8 all around or use 17x7’s in the front? The 17x7’s only have a 4” BS and the 17x8’s have 4.5” BS.

A couple of my truck junkie friends are telling me to use the 7’s up front but I’m not convinced.

Is anyone running this setup? I sure cannot find any pics. online or any other posts concerning my question. Please post pics. if you have this setup!

Thanks!

I have VN615's with 16X7's up front with a 4" backspace and 17X8 in the rear.

This is a common deal but only works well when you can match tire width/heights appropriately (which can get harder to do when the wheel diameters get larger).

Will you need two spares if you offset sizes?

Not if the OD of the tires are the same

Or a AAA card.

Or.... Treat the situation like a newer cars (late 70's - a few years ago) set-up that utilizes a 'TEMP' spare to get you to your next destination. One wheel/tire used as a temp gets it done until the situation can be corrected. Something close enough/between the different sizes will get the job done.

That’s why the rollback tow truck was developed 😉😉😉😉
