Afternoon all,
As the post title states I am working on converting my fathers '58 impala 2 door hard top to power disc brakes and I know that I will need to change the wheels (that was on his to do list anyway). I know I will need at least 15 inch wheels, which I think will be perfect with tires that maintain stock overall tire diameter. We have been considering a set of torque thrust wheels for it. American Racing shows 15X8 with 4.5 inch back space as the only option. Will these fit? I'm sure someone here has gone done this road before me and may have an answer. If that size does not fit, what will fit? I would consider up to a 16 inch wheel if they fit and look right. Also will wheels that clear in the front work for the rear? Or are those going to have be a different wheel?
Any information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Travis
