hi everyone.
hey i got a new set of 15x8 polished aluminum torque thrust II's today! i love 'em!
it was no easy feat though. the first set rubbed the trailing arms and they had to order a different offset. i still have to use spacers on the back wheels. the front wheels just barely miss the calipers. but now if i crank the wheel hard, my front tires rub the end of the rocker panel slightly.
i have 255/60's all around and i may have to go to a thinner front tire.
i stayed with the 15" rims because i'm "old school" and i like the look of higher profile tires and the raised white letters. plus, my tires were still in fine shape and i wasn't about to buy new ones 
anyway, i'll get some pics and update my signature soon. i'm putting on a chambered exhaust this week so i'll get pictures then.
anyway i'm just excited i just had to tell someone!!!!

Congrads on the new wheels. Hope you can get the minor details worked out.
I'm with you on the 15" wheels. O rings on the old cars just don't do much for me, but To each his own as they say.
Hey, I just noticed that you live right there in the middle of collector car paradise.

Been to the spring meet and to the Corvette show the past 2 years. It is great. Lots of nice cars for sale too, just didn't come down perpared to buy or to get a car home. They say to bring cash. Can't imagine walking around with all that money.

Congrats on the wheels. I'm with you on the old school...me too. I have
Power Sticks chambered exhaust on mine. They are true duals and sound
awesome. A lot of folks here think they are too noisy in the car.
I guess I got a good set because mine are just right.
Have fun!
Scott

Caution !!!!!! On those spacers. If you haven't changed to longer studs it is possible for those to loosen up and ? Also, be careful when mounting lugs, it's easy to strip those studs with less threads being grabbed. I had a set of wire wheels w/spacers and learned the hard way before I heard the stories of other unfortunates. Just be careful and aware.
