Torq Thrust 2 Wheels
Anybody know if you can order Torq Thrust wheels with a custom offset, i want a 17x11 wheel out back but i want a 6.5" bs so that it doesnt stick out. I did a search and i see that just about everyone is using a 5.5" bs.
I've seen a few cars on here, mostly Kandied's and i love the big tire tuck.
Front - 17x9 or 9.5 w/ 5.5bs - 245 or 275 on front, havnt decided what i want
Rear - 17x11 w/ 6.5bs - 285-315s out back
Thanks Mike

And what about brake fitment, i read on there website that deeper backspacing than 5.5 might interfere with brakes? i'm not picturing how it will interfere..
I have 97 Z28 disk brakes swapped onto my rears, and stock disks up front..
Thanks for the reply's,
Mike

nah i'm not worried about tire rub at all. I have alot of room b4 it hits the shocks too. A buddy of mine minitubbed his camaro and runs 28x14.5 ET streets out back, stock shocks still in place, BUT he is close to hitting the shocks haha
I do plan on doing some massaging or maybe even squaring off the inside of the wheel well if i have that much of a clearance problem. I'm a pretty good at fabricating and welding so its not a big deal. i'll make it fit
Now if i have a brake clearance problem, thats not an easy fix lol thats gonna cost me a new set of aftermarket brakes or whatever it takes, not jsut a simple weld job

I have the 17x7 with a 225/45/17 tire in the front and the 17x8 with -11mm offset for the rear with a 245/45/17 tire (perfect fit). I tried the 17x9.5 on the rear with a tire on it but would hit the inner fender well, if you go with 17x11 would have to do a mini-tub for the wheels to fit.
