Yes, I did search the wheel data base, but could not find my application listed with my rear tire size .

I want the 15 inch Torque Thrust "D" classic wheel for my 66' Chevelle. BUT, they only sell the "D" in 15x8.5x3.750 back space. Will this fit my 66'? I have 15x8x4.50bs Weld Wheels now and the wheels and tires (275/60/15 tires) fit great.

Will the extra 1/2 inch width of the "D" rim help offset the 3.750 back space? If I buy these rims....will they fit with my tires under my wheel wells???

Thanks so much to all!!

I don't believe that the 15 x 8.5 with the 3.75 back space will fit very nicely under your chevelle. I used to run 15 x 8 cragar mags and also weld wheels 15 x 8 with the same backspacing as yours with 275/60-15 tires in the rear. Fit was great. I had the 15 x 8.5 torque thrust D wheels on my 62 Belair, I know that they would not fit under the Chevelle.
they didn'y fit that nicely under the Belair either. too much wheel on the outside towards the quarter panel lip.

Not enough backspacing.Unless you want to run airshocks.

The Rocket Fuel Wheels you recommended look nice. Is there a "lead build time" on these wheels or do you have them in stock in a 15x8x4.5bs?

My original 15x8.5 Torque thrusts fit my uncut 66 Chevelle with 12 bolt...-I narrowed the rear 1/2 inch on each side and ralso I run 255R15 tires...
