Which Torque Thrust Wheels for 69 Camaro?

[Survivor 69/Z28]

Wow! Now that is the look I am after!
Can someone tell me the part # for these or the offset? There seems to be a ton of sizes and offsets to choose from. So with 15x7's what is about the widest bias ply I can put at all 4 corners? My second choice would be to put something a little wider in the back like possibly an E60. First choice being the same size all the way around.

Thanks for the pictures and the help!!

The car that they are going on is a 69 SS/RS, X22, Hugger Orange, Deluxe Houndstooth, 4spd, 3.73's, with a breathed on L78. It should get picked up next week some time. But wanted to go ahead and order some wheels and tires for it.

for what its worth, I was the one that talked one of the previous owners of that white yenko into that tire and wheel setup. You can PM me if you want and I can try to find out what he ordered. That car to me just did not look great in the ralley wheels, and I finally got him to take the jump. I think that car looks great.

This is an old (actual original) 15x6 TT that was restored. Shot first with a dark gunmetal gray by the wheel restorer then fogged over by me with a rattle-can of silver argent to get that glistening "as-cast" look on the spokes:



Different wheel (a new, backdated 15x5 TTO) with the dark gray mentioned above:



The 15x8.5 (or were they 8s?) with the same argent silver treatment:



The car, since sold:



IMHO, out of the box new wheels, TTOs or whatever, can benefit from a little customizing with paint. It can set your car apart from the others and disguise new wheels as maybe being older versions.

Bill, those old TTs look awesome.

Those look really nice, thanks for posting pictures.

In my opinion, the team III / ET Classic V looks the most authentic, and they can do the widest range of offsets. Expensive though!

Look at the picture of the cast 15x7 for a good idea of how they look.

I usually go with the new 15X7 American TTOs with the natural finish on the spokes. They have been a little hard to get because of the finish but I have had the best of luck with the fit and quality of the wheels when I put them on a Camaro. Most of the time I run P215/65/15 or P225/60/15 with a little rubbing in front and I have run 255/60/15 in the back with a little rubbing depending on the car but I have run P245/60/15 with no problems. I have had better luck with the new wheels made in China than I have had with the originals because of the thick flanges on the originals.

Looks great Mark!

Thanks Bruce. One of those cars I wish I had not sold. Non numbers matching big block SS/RS that I put a 540 in.
