I have found 15" drag rims that fit

[94tbird]

im talknig about the rears. they will not fit our rears without some sort of spacer. the diameter of the wheel is over half and inch too short and would need to change calipers or run some sort of spacer, putting the wheel on the outside of the fender, which is what most of us would liek to avoid

SD you will have to run a spacer on the rear...but its no big deal. All wheels have to have a spacer...Even the bogarts.....Its just that Dave Bogart welds them on so you dont have to keep up with them....but they have them front and rear...

I know a neat way to do it with long studs and keep your stocker looking stock too...Let me know if interested.

Aaahhhh so. Why do I see Aerospace brakes in my future? Damn.

i went through the same thought process. but im trying to do this by spending less money, not more. the greg welds are the best bet right now for price and fitment

put long studs on...
then buy adapter plates that have the studs in them[like the H&R] ( unless you can find the spacers big enough). Then knock the studs out of the adapter plate and you have a nice thick spacer with holes in it for your car. Use them with the wheels. On the stock ones, put the wheel on then an open acorn nut to secure the wheel and then run a chrome one down on top of that. Look at my 02 car with street wheels. You can't tell it has 3.5" long studs on the back

As in 17 x 4.5 and 17 x 9.5 ? (their weight is what? & The backspacing/offset is what?) I thought WE could get some nice 15"ers... What about that diameter? Did you ask?

Thank you for calling! Can you call them again?

 

[yzfone]

So the 15s don't fit? I think that is what most were hoping for, much better selection of drag tires.
