Re: American Racing Torque thrust II rims
Copied from chevykens site:
Size: 17" x 9.5"
Backspacing Rear: 5.5"
Backspacing Front: 5.25"
Tires: 275/40x17" (GY F1)
Bolt Circle: 5x4.75"
With these specs, NO spacers are necessary. However, the downside is that these are not standard sized rims, but special order.
When I special ordered mine, it took 6 weeks to produce and deliver them, so that was well worth it to me, as it is a perfect fit.
HotRodsUsa.com was the company I used, and I highly recommend them.
Most people running 9.5" rims up front seem to have 5.5" backspacing. So, why did I use 5.25"? Well, after careful measuring before ordering my rims I found that the clearance to the tie rod with 5.5" would be too small for my liking. And boy am I glad I did! If I had gone with 5.5" bs, the rims would've rubbed the tie rods. So my advice is to go with 5.25" bs up front if you are making a special order anyway. That gives you a little extra room - while the difference front to back is not noticable at all.
