I am thinking of installing some 15x7 torque thrusts on my 65. Are there any clearance problems with the 7” or should I go with the 6”. I would appreciate any experience with these wheels.
I just put a brand new set on my '65 Coupe (15 x 7) with 225/60 x 15 and had rub on the rear with fender lips. Dropped back to the 225/50 x 15 and issue went away.
On my Fastback, with no fender lips, the above wheel and the 225/60 x 15's work just fine up front and out back.
I put a set of TTD 15x7's with 3 3/4" BS on my 65 coupe with BFG T/A's size215-65-15's all around. I have no issues with this combination but all of my fender lips are rolled. There would probably be a rub problem with the front without the rolled lips, as they are pretty close now.
Wheels have 3 3/4 backspacing on the coupe and the fastback. Stock drums on the coupe and Granada's on the fastback. Steering same on both cars (fastback does have the quick steering ratio).
