What Rims with a Wilwood on a '65?

[J Glenn]

I'm trying to figure out what rims work with the Wilwood brake kits (mostly because they have that funny oversize 'dust cover' in the center.) I like the Torq Thrust D's (15") but I don't think they'll fit.

Wondering what 15" rims people are running with Wilwoods on their early A-bodies.

GO....

You might post a picture or two & take some measurements of the diameter & length of the hub. Someone here can probably use those measurements on their Torq Thrusts & tell you if they will fit.

It would probably be easier/faster to just measure those hubs. Then go to the wheel manufacturer's website. They almost always show that hub bore size in their specs.

Excellent IDEA!

The biggest concern is the 3.24" center hole requirement. I mean

Looks like you can use a wheel with a (minimum) 2.500" bore, as long as it has a 3/8" chamfer on it to clear that big radius.

Good point. ... and I do own a mill if I need to add a chamfer;-)

These will fit. Little different than the Torque Thrust D’s but kinda similar
