Hi all,
Today i wanted to remove my wheels and measure up back spacing etc. to see what new alternative wheels will fit.
My eye caught the American racing Torq Thrust TTO wheels, 15x7 front and 15x8,5 rear.
For both wheels backspacing is 3.75" (front offset 1/4" and rear offset 1")

Currently installed wheels:
Front: 14x7 (215x70x14 tyre) with 3.5" backspacing (offset 0")
Rear: 15x8 (275x60x15 tyre) with 3.5" backspacing (offset 3/4"
Would above mentioned wheels fit properly?
I could add a 1/4"-3/8" spacer up front to get them in the same position. (also checked the back clearance and don't see any obstructions to come in 1/4" more.
Think on the rear should be ok, coming out 1/4" more then now.
This is for a '69 Coronet R/T, with 8-3/4 axle (489 housing)
Another question, for the first time removing the Left Rear wheel i broke all 5 wheel studs....
After all that, being pissed off and looking for a replacement i noticed they do L/H and R/H studs.....
Are the rear left wheels with L/H thread?? (front wheel was normal R/H thread)
According me the replacement studs have 0.625" knurl diameter with 1/2"-20 thread right?
Please advice me what is required....never suspected anything to be L/H thread..
