Wheel question for 69 Firebird
I recently purchased a set of American Racing Torq Thrust II 15X10 wheels. I have since learned that just because the wheel is 10 inches wide does not mean that the tire is 10 inches wide. Bottom line, they dont fit. I have less than an inch between rubber and quarter pannel with the wheels off the ground. Also in the photo, you can see that the tire sticks out past the quarter pannel. Not the desired look I was hoping to achieve. I'm not sure if they messed up on the back spacing, or If I just went with to large of a wheel. I have no prior wheel buying experience, and may have just made a costly mistake. Any help or advice would be greatly appriciated.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
