American Racing Rims ?

[Curly]

I bought my M/T Radir slicks and want to mount them on American Racing Torq-Thrust D's. Radir's rims are out of my price league!!!

I should be able to find some 15x8.5's for the 4 1/2" Bolt pattern for the late model Ford rear but I seem to be having a hard time finding the skinnys for the front in a 5 1/2" Bolt pattern.

I assume that they did make them. Any body else run into this problem? Do you know where to start looking?

I figured if I couldn't find 'em I'd go with the non-spindle mount 10 or 12 spokes that they a re-popin' but it seems that they don't come in a 5 1/2 bolt pattern!

what width front wheels are you looking for? American racing does make a 15" by 4.5" wide...and a 15" x 6".

but they only have them in 5 on 4-1/2" or 4-3/4" pattern.....maybe you could redrill your front hubs?

a freind of mine has a pair of 15 x 6" americans with a 5-1/2 pattern that he bought at a swap meet on the front of his `40. so they did make them at one time,you will just have to check online like ebay,hamb classifieds,etc..and the swap meets....good luck...greg

did you try calling summit racing? they might sell em... they have alot of stuf they dont list in the catalog...

never mind,,, i looked at americanracing.com and i think you would have to custom order skinny 15" wheels with a 5x5.5

it doesnt look like they offer 15" by 5x5.5

that sucks.
i am gonna have the same problems you are, as my truck is 5.4.5 in front, and 5x5.5 in the back. I was hoping to run some polished d's or torque thrust II's

Call my very good buddy Gus Gottschalk who is the Regional Manager for American Racing at 800 959 1969 and ask him to help you locate them, if they're available. Feel free to use my name.
