With about 1 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the body in the rear I am thinking that the extra 1 inch of wheel width and the same backspace would give me a 1/2" of clearance depending on the tires used. Has anyone put 15x7 Torque Thrust wheels on a '66? PIcs are always great!

Thanks, Rob...
Rob,

Did you end up getting these installed? What tires did you use? I am thinking about putting similar on my '66 GP so I can go to 15" tires. Shame to lose the 8 lugs, but too much $ to convert 2 sets to 15" and or get the repros for any that may need linings or what have you.

Just re-read this whole thing, and I am now clueless. Want to do 15X7 Torque D as long as I can fit in with skirts.
