Torq thrust wheels
Thinking of doing a wheel swap on my 72 c10 with front disk's. Going from 15x7 truck rally's to maybe Torq thrust D's 7" and 8.5. I noticed Tire Rack states these wheels don't fit a C10!? Seen quite a few. Truck now has 255-60's and 275-60's. Anyone with input?

Re: Torq thrust wheels
I've been running Torq thrust D's for 20+ years, and change them out every 5 years or so. Some have rubbed the front caliper and some have knocked off weights. I simply clearance the caliper with a grinder in the area of the rub and or repositioned weights. Good luck, Lee

Re: Torq thrust wheels
My forever favorite image of torque thrusts is of my friend's 67 SS396 Chevelle. Maroon, jacked up a bit with air shocks and 10" cast center torque thrust rims. Hey, it was the 60's.

Re: Torq thrust wheels
The torque thrust is one of the classics that will never be out of style. Two more of my favorites were the Keystone Classics as a bit of a different look over the Cragar SS and the Halibrand style wheel that to me was a cooler looking slotted wheel over the classic aluminum slot.

Re: Torq thrust wheels
Installed these 17 x 8 Torque Thrust 2's last Summer. Truck is stock height and tires are 255/60 17 on all 4 corners. No rubbing or binding issues at all. I have the parts and truck is getting a 2 1/2 inch drop spindle and a 4 in drop spring out back this year..
