    How important are wheel ecentrics for Torque Thrust Rumzes?.........

    Did a trial fit today on my 66 and they bolt up (naturally) butt..the hole is bigger than the hub. A problem?  I mean........the center doesn't do any supporting....its all about the studs,right?!

    That's just the way it was back in the day.  They made aftermarket wheels in generic sizes and in unrealistic backspacings so they would bolt onto anything.  I never had any problems using wheels that were not hub centric.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    The oversize center hole on Torq Thrust saved my bacon after a Granada/Versailles 4 wheel disc swap.

    The Versailles hubs are bigger and will no longer accept original stock wheels after the swap.
