I'm looking at buying a set of Torq Thrusts (original style) for my Nova but I notice that they don't seem to make a 15x7 or 15x8 with 4.5 or even 4.25 inch back spacing? I they only make 3.75" back spacing but on Nova's and Camaros 4.5 or 4.75 is ideal is it not? Does anybody know how wide of a tire, say BFG T.A. you can put on a Nova using 3.75" BS? Or....Does anybody know if American Racing will do a custom backspacing the same as Cragar does?

Most of my rally wheels are 4 to 4-1/4" backspacing. 3.75 will work if the tire is not real wide. Like 205's in the front and 225's in the rear. I have always had better luck on the rear than the front. My 69Z does not turn completely with anything less than 3.75 BS using a G60 tire on the front. I run a set of Cragars on my 69 nova with the original style E70/14 redlines on the car and have no problem. They are 3.75" BS.

Not a problem I will get them to you.One thing I forgot to add was that I had to trim the rear wheel lips slightly.
