Hey L81ers.

What do you guys think? I still have the orginals but I thought after 27 years she needed new boots...It makes her run faster right? LOL:L
 
Looks great, Bill! Are they Torque Thrust IIs or ??

Looks good. I think they really bring out that cleaned up window trim and rocker panels. Like that classic look.
 
Yup there TT II's 17".. For someone thats looking -11 offset and 4" backspace... There is no need for spacers and 255-50-17 tires are the match dia/width to the stock 255-60-15, just for info...

Thanks! That's great info. No rubs or other issues whatsoever?

NO rubs everything runs great..As far as ride quality the car does not ride any more rough then normal... The biggest difference besides the look is how she feels in the corners, less roll from the shorter side walls..

The TT IIs look great! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the Vintage series wheels from American Racing.

I'm running the same size tires. They fit perfectly.
