Planning bolt on wheels

[Bill D]

I am planning on using American Racing Torq Thrust wheels (15x8 and 15x10) on my upcoming 289FIA build, Do bolt-on wheels use different width control arms and IRS axles? What backspacing and bolt circle is used?

Thanks

If you run 10" wheels on the rear you need the same axles we use on a pin drive wheel, they are 2" shorter than bolt on wheel axles.

Thanks Mr. Weaver. How about the front?

BillD,

I don't want to intrude, but something to consider if you think you might ever switch wheels or go to the bigger brake upgrade that is offered as an option. I also chose an american racing wheel. I went with the shelby / cobra version. I love the wheels, but was going to get the bigger brakes and calipers, but Alan pointed out they would not fit with the wheels I chose. As far as I know, the other A/R line of wheels will fit, but if a brake upgrade may be in your future, double check with Alan first.
thanks,
Eddie

Thanks Eddie
I don't plan on going to bigger brakes. I like the AR Torq Thrus 'D's and plan on going with them

The standard American Racing front offset is perfect.
