Take a look at team 3 or et 3 Wheels a little pricey but they can be ordered with the backspacing you would need , just a thought . 15x10 ft spacing 5-8 inches and rear spacing 3-6 inchesyes, it’s got a bar in it. I crossed that threshold a couple of years ago.
I’m going to have to come to a decision on wheels pretty soon. I sold my old wheels this week, so there’s no going back now. These two are currently the options I’m leaning toward. The issue with the TT’s is that the 10” version is on 3-3/4” BS. I’m not sure I like the idea of a 6” deep dish look.
And no, I’m not going to spend forged wheel money.

I have American Racing Torq thrust II on my 67 GTX, they are 15x8 and 4 3/4 backspace as you can order them as needed.I do like those. Perhaps someday this car will get some high dollar wheels, but it’s just not in the budget this winter.
OK take a look on ebay and look up gasser wheels , there is a guy that will build you 5 spoke wheels in any off set . About $399 a wheel I know that you said that you do not have the funds for better wheels but spending money on make do items and they do not get the job done that you expect and then going back later and buying more is a waste of money . I know I have done this before , old age and hind sight .. just a thought !I do like those. Perhaps someday this car will get some high dollar wheels, but it’s just not in the budget this winter.
---Finally starting to see some parts show up from Jegs. Made a little progress today, getting the fuel cell mounted. I also got the rear end chunk torn apart. I’m happy to report I really like the look of the new wheels. Yes they’re cast, but even at 10”w, they would seem to be a lot lighter than my USMag Torque thrusts were.

That fuel cell sure fits down in there nicely. Will be good to see it plumbed.
I currently run a deadhead fuel supply system. What’s the correct way to address the vent/return lines at the top of my cell? I assume they should just be capped, but it also seems that there should be a vent system there. Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks!
—-Got the fuel cell project pretty much done. Still need to loom some wiring at the pump, and I’m going to order a bulkhead connector with a filter on the bottom side for the vent tube. On to the next project: setting up the 4.56’s.
My custom US Cartools kit has shipped, should have it next week.
oh, and I got the rear wheels & tires mated. They won’t fit in the stock wells, so I can’t even mock it up for housing dimensions until the wheelhouses are cut. Progress.

I’ve already run into one issue: the lower portion of the back seat won’t come out past the roll bar. This is going to make it hard to get the rear interior panels out. I’m sure I’ll either get them out or find a way to work around them.
I’ve got a ton to do before April. But I can’t wait to see the finished changes!

—-Figured out the seat thing. Was able to jostle it around and get it under the backbrace bar. Also got the interior panels out. Played around with the plasma cutter, getting the hang of that. I’ll do the bulk of the cutting with it, but I think the cutting wheel will also find its way into the mix at a few spots. I Placed and marked the templates on the floor. Plan is to start cutting next weekend.
