Question: Torq Thrust II wheels

[D55]

C3 owners. I have 1979 Corvette front disc brakes on my 55 Chevy. I'd like to put 15x8 American Racing Torq Thrust II rims on it. I'd like to know if they will fit without needing any wheel spacers to clear the calipers. I know that the rim will clear around the calipers, but would like to confirm that the hub to rim will clear the calipers without needing spacers.

Thanks for you help with this!

Torq Thrust II Rims

Just wanted to thank you for your response on the Torq Thrust II question I had earlier this year. I just installed 15x7 TTII's on my car and there were no clearance problems with the Corvette calipers and rim.

Thanks again!

I am glad it worked out. If you get a chance post a picture.

I have the 15" wheels on my 80 and no issues at all.

Hey, Frank!
Just wanted to send you a couple pictures of my car with the new rims. Thanks again for your help.
