Thanks for the replies. Sorry I'm so late in getting back.
One thing I forgot to mention if it matters, I do have Koni Classic shocks all the way around. Besides the Koni's and the Hotchkis TVS suspension, then all other suspension components are stock.
Prior to this setup, for years I had a Herb Adams lowering kit and sway bars, 15x7 wheels with 4 7/16" back space, the Koni shocks, and 215/65R15's all the way around. I had no interference problems. I know the 4 7/16 backspace played a part in that.
During the many years I have been restoring this car, I have been to dozens of car shows small and large. I always look at the wheels and tire sizes on '67's and '68's to see what people are able squeeze in the front. I see cars with 235's on Torq Thrust D's all of time. I don't know how they are getting away with it. Of course, they may not have lowering springs.....and maybe they are hitting and the owner just doesn't care.
Since starting this restoration years ago, I've had my heart set on Torq Thrust D's (or a similar wheel) when the restoration was finished and I'm almost there. Besides the TTD's, I've looked at the Torque Thrust II, VN309TTO and the Vintage Wheel Works V40's and V45's in 15 and 16 inch wheels, all 7 inch widths. The back space on all of them is 3 3/4 except one which is 4 inches.
I'm not sure why American Racing and Vintage Wheel Works don't offer these classic and wildly popular wheels in different back spacings.
So am I SOL with this style of wheel
Or do I have a chance with the 215/65R15? I'd hate to go any narrower. Or are there any similar wheels from a different manufacturer with greater back spacing?
I have posted this at Team Camaro also.
Thanks......Dave
