Those are nice rims and all, but what kind of beam do you need or what kind of fenders do you need.

I'll bet if you also offered in a 4.5 or 5.5 you'd get some folks as well. I may even want a set.

sure american racing makes chevy and ford pattern torque thrusts.
but you would have to re drill or use adapters. and their off set sucks

these will bolt onto any car that is already running porsche wheels
or if you want porsche lug pattern
CB has brake kits on the shelf ready to go. no messing around getting someone to drill chevy pattern

These will fit under stock fenders and should fit better than most empi 5 spoke, brm, sprint stars etc do out of the box.

There is no way in hell they will fit a VW without modifications. They have way more offset than a VW or Porsche wheel and will stick out big time.

Its not the backspace you should be worrying about. Its the front spacing. A 6 inch Torque Thrust has 3.5 inched of backspace and 2.5 of front. A 4.5 inch has the same amount of front space. Whats the spacing on a 7? The back ones are the toughest. You can always narrow the crap out of the front beam but narrowing the back isn`t as easy.
