[V8Vairs] Wheel Help needed

[streblerm at sbcglobal.net]

So, I take it you are using the whole toro "subframe". How about drilling the hub flange for the more common "small car" 5 X 4 3/4?  Then a whole world of wheels will open up for you.

I know that many of you with the conversion have used various types of 
wheels but with a Toronado conversion, I am having a hard time finding 
classic looking wheels for the rear.  I want the front and rear to 
match..  I really like American Racing Torq Thrust but to get a 5.5" 
back spacing on a 7" or 8" wheel., I could only get it in17".  As it is 
the tires contact the wheel lip sometimes and protrude a little outside 
the body lines.

Any suggestions.

I thought of going with a smaller backspace and add flares but I want to 
keep the stock appearance.

If any of you are going to the Frank Maratta Show in Hartford on 
February 7,8,9, check out the Torvair.  It will be there.
