Well done! I can picture you prowling the streets on a Friday night in that setup

Mounted the old Torq Thrusts on some tires bought at a swap in 2021.
Wheels are old 15x7 AR Torq Thrusts
Tires are Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread F70-15.
Rears will be next. Going to put N50s on the AR TT 8.5's

A couple shots from Laguna Seca Cars and Coffee today. One day I will make it to the Camaro Nationals or MCACN but for now I enjoy these local small events. Plus complimentary racing on the track while taking in the cars and coffee.

Nice! Whats the offset on those front wheels, and do the tires rub? Love the look.

Thank You! I really love the look too!

7x15" 1/2" Positive offset. I am re-using my cragar brand 3/8 spacers to clear the calipers but I bet 1/4" spacers would do it. The tires clear but on a sharp left turn, especially if the suspension is compressed, the left tire just barely rubs on a flaky rust area on the fender, I may just whack it in with a hammer just enough so it clears. The Torq Thrusts and these tires are night and day compared to the steel wheels I had on. I can feel the difference, especially from a stop. Maybe it is the tires? Anyway I'm really happy with the change.

Here's a photo I took outside a little spot down the street where I usually order the soup of the day and Tri-tip sandwich.
