Rims for my 78 T/A

Apr 28, 2004 7 Replies

I am looking at some used Tru Spoke rims for my 78 Trans Am. They are 15x8 inch and have a 5 hole 5 inch bolt pattern with 5 inch back space and a bolt in spacer plate that is



3/4 of a inch, which would give 4 1/4 back space. Will they fit?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Probably, but they are butt ugly compared to the OEM snowflake rims it likely came with :).

You think so? I had a buddy that had a 78 with Tru Spokes and I thought they were pretty sharp. I would really like to have a set of Cragar SST's like I had on my old '80 but apparently Cragar doesn't make them anymore.

Btw, it came with butt ugly rally's. ;-)

Thanks for the help.

Yup. I like the OEM turbo flows or snowflakes. Two of the best looking wheels out there. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 26k orig.

um... 1 problem the T/A has a 5x 4 3/4 bolt pattern not a 5x5

Is there an adaptor I can buy that will make them useable?
