Features torque thrust big and littles - lets see 'em

There was never a question as to what I would run on Gramma's '52..... TTO 15 x 5's n 8's with bias ply skinny fronts and 9" slicks....

 

Great thread with some outstanding rides. Torque Thrusts bring back so so many good memories from back in the day that it’s really hard not to love ‘em.
TTO’s are pure cool.

 

15x5 and 15x7 TTOs. Not exactly “bigs” but they are staggered.

 

Not to contradict, but some 5spoke American magnesium, spindle mount wheels; do have the name cast in them :

 

@bowie those are awesome!

 

235/70-15 rear, 165/15 front, 7 inch wheels in the rear, 6 in the front.

 

@bowie very good stuff. Learned something today, thanks.

 

14x6 & 15x6 composite wheels in the first pic; were on the car forever until I took it over. They proved to be "un true" and a bear to drive with. Went and bought 15x5, 15x7 Americans (they didn't offer a 6") in the second pic. They're getting replaced with ET's though - they have the size / offset I want. The 5" on the front isn't deep enough for my taste.

 

Very timely for this thread to pop back up. I just finally got the rears installed on my A pickup, and am now thinking of what to do with the fronts. The rears are 15 x 8.5 w/ Towel City 31-10.5 x 15 cheaters. I also have a pair of 15 x 6 TT's for the front, but not sure which size tires to go with, this thread has been great, I've gone all the way through it again (wish more folks had posted wheel/tires sizes). It looks like w/ a 6" wheel I could go with 5.60 in bias, or 165 - 195 in radials. I'd kind of like to stick with bias, but may consider going with radials. So many options....

 

15X4 1/2(?) D's on the front, 15X10 II's on the rear. They sorta match.
