<h1>Classic Ford Truck Wheels: 20" American Racing Torq Thrust II with Nitto NT555 G2 Tires</h1>
<p>There is something about a <strong>classic Ford truck on American Racing Torq Thrust wheels</strong> that just looks right.</p>
<p>The five-spoke Torq Thrust design has the vintage American styling that belongs on an older F-100 or F-150, while moving to a <strong>20-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II</strong> gives the truck a completely different stance.</p>
<p>The classic Ford truck pictured here shows exactly what we're talking about: vintage Ford styling combined with <strong>20-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels and 245/45R20 Nitto NT555 G2 tires</strong>.</p>
<p>Instead of trying to make a vintage truck look like a brand-new truck, the Torq Thrust II keeps the classic character and simply updates the proportions.</p>
<h2>20" American Racing Torq Thrust II on a Classic Ford Truck</h2>
<p>For this style of build, we're featuring the <strong>American Racing VN615 Torq Thrust II 1-Piece</strong>.</p>
<p>A2i Wheel & Tire offers a <strong>set of four 20x8 chrome American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels</strong> with a <strong>5x5.5 / 5x139.7 bolt pattern, 0mm offset, 4.5-inch backspacing, and 87.1mm center bore</strong>.</p>

<h2>245/45R20 Nitto NT555 G2 Tires</h2>
<p>The classic Ford truck pictured uses <strong>245/45R20 Nitto NT555 G2 tires</strong>.</p>
<p>The 245/45ZR20 NT555 G2 is approved by Nitto for <strong>7.5-inch through 9.0-inch wide wheels</strong>, with an 8-inch measuring rim. That makes the tire a natural dimensional match for a 20x8 wheel.</p>
<p>Nitto lists the 245/45ZR20 NT555 G2 at approximately <strong>28.66 inches overall diameter and 9.57 inches overall width</strong>.</p>
<p>The result is a modern performance-oriented tire with enough sidewall to maintain the muscular appearance we want on a classic truck.</p>
<h2>Classic Ford F100 & F150 Wheels</h2>
<p>The Torq Thrust design works on Ford trucks from the <strong>1950s and 1960s through the classic F-100 era and all the way to the 1992-1996 OBS F-150</strong>.</p>
<p>Depending on the exact truck, potential applications include compatible classic Ford F-100 and F-150 builds using the <strong>5x5.5 bolt pattern and proper hub dimensions</strong>.</p>
<h2>1960s Ford F100 Wheels</h2>
<p>A chrome five-spoke Torq Thrust wheel looks right at home on a <strong>1960s Ford F-100</strong>. The wheel maintains the vintage American appearance of the truck while the 20-inch diameter provides the stance expected from a modern restomod or street-truck build.</p>
<h2>1967-1972 Bumpside Ford F100 Wheels</h2>
<p>The <strong>1967-1972 Bumpside F-100</strong> may be one of the best visual matches for the Torq Thrust design.</p>
<p>For a restored, lowered, custom or restomod Bumpside Ford, the traditional chrome five-spoke design complements the truck instead of overpowering it.</p>
<h2>1973-1979 Dentside Ford F100 & F150 Wheels</h2>
<p>The same approach works extremely well on a <strong>1973-1979 Dentside Ford</strong>. These trucks are increasingly popular for custom and restomod builds, and the Torq Thrust II gives them a classic American appearance with modern wheel sizing.</p>
<h2>1980-1986 Bullnose Ford F150 Wheels</h2>
<p>For compatible <strong>1980-1986 Bullnose Ford F-150</strong> applications, the 20x8 Torq Thrust II offers a clean retro street-truck look.</p>
<p>Remember that not every F-100 from this period uses the same bolt pattern, so verify the actual truck before ordering.</p>
<h2>1987-1991 Bricknose Ford F150 Wheels</h2>
<p>The <strong>1987-1991 Bricknose Ford F-150</strong> is another strong candidate for this combination. Chrome five-spoke wheels provide the vintage appearance that works particularly well with the square styling of these trucks.</p>
<h2>1992-1996 OBS Ford F150 Wheels</h2>
<p>The <strong>1992-1996 OBS Ford F-150</strong> is one of the strongest applications to consider for the 20x8 Torq Thrust II.</p>
<p>The combination of the OBS body design, chrome five-spoke wheel and modern performance tire creates a classic street-truck appearance without making the truck look overly modern.</p>
<h2>87.1mm Center Bore: The Measurement That Matters</h2>
<p>The American Racing wheel featured here has an <strong>87.1mm center bore</strong>.</p>
<p>Having a 5x5.5 bolt pattern does <strong>not</strong> automatically mean the wheel fits every classic Ford truck.</p>
<p>The hub must physically pass through the wheel's center opening.</p>
<h2>Large-Hub and Dana Axle Applications</h2>
<p><strong>If your Ford truck has a large protruding hub, locking hub, Dana axle, axle conversion, or another large-hub configuration, measure it before ordering.</strong></p>
<p>If the portion of the hub that must pass through the wheel is larger than <strong>87.1mm</strong>, this wheel will not fit.</p>
<p>That's why A2i Wheel & Tire recommends verifying both <strong>5x5.5 bolt pattern and hub diameter</strong> on a classic Ford before ordering.</p>
<h2>What About 1950s Ford F100 Trucks?</h2>
<p>The truck pictured is a great example of why classic vehicle fitment needs to be handled differently from late-model vehicles.</p>
<p>A 1950s Ford may still have its original drivetrain and suspension, or it may have undergone decades of modifications including <strong>axle swaps, disc-brake conversions, suspension changes, lowering kits, and bolt-pattern conversions</strong>.</p>
<p>For a 1950s Ford F-100, do not order wheels based solely on the model year. Verify the truck's actual bolt pattern, hub diameter, brake clearance, suspension, and available wheel clearance.</p>
<h2>Why 20" Torq Thrust Wheels Work on Vintage Ford Trucks</h2>
<p>The key is that the Torq Thrust doesn't look like a modern wheel.</p>
<p>It's a classic American five-spoke design.</p>
<p>Moving to a 20-inch diameter changes the truck's stance, but the wheel itself still looks appropriate on a vintage Ford.</p>
<p><strong>Classic design. Modern sizing. Modern tire technology.</strong></p>
