People running Jegs and Summit 15'' wheels. Quick Question

[SteveP]

I'm looking for the part number for the skinnies you are running. I'm all set on the rears but because i'm a retard with computers I wanna make sure I get the correct rim.

I need the wheel part number, type of wheel spacer and part number, and anything else i need.


Thanks.

Very first post in this thread has the part numbers for front wheels, rear wheels, spacers, lug nuts, etc.

+1 to what he said.

i went with that spacer through jegs, and the same size, bs, wheel from summit. just a little cheaper through summit. m/h 185/75/15 front runners on mine

Thank you.

So can all wheels use the stock lugnuts? I only see stock lugnuts listed under the jegs....summit is closer to me...that is why I was wondering.

(fixt) I have open locking lugs...

 

[mikeysgt]

i need open end lugs for the fronts since the stock lugs weren't getting enough thread to be safe.

Yep, those should work. The main thing is to get an ET style with a shank so they will go past the face of the rim...You should be good to go!
These are some of the pics I used to show what would work when I discovered these wheels would actually work on our cars...

 

[mikeysgt]

haha you're the one who posted this in the other forum i saw. same exact pictures... thanks for the heads up. placing my order on those soon. do i just need the front set? 5 sets for all the wheels?

 

[ROUSH STAGE 4]

The front is imperative due to the spacer, but I bought them for the rears too. 5 sets total should do.

 

[mikeysgt]

thats what i was thinking... thanks!

Good luck and post some pics so we can see how she turned out....

 

[mikeysgt]

well just got back from my mechanics house after getting the studs put on and..... had to do a lot of grinding on the front calipers still even with the 3/8 spacer up front!

finally got the calipers ground down enough to clear the wheel and came home. just ordered the open end studs but we just used the stock studs on there and tightened them enough to break through the ends of each one to tighten the front wheel on. these studs stick out quite a bit even with my 99-04 offset saleens i run so i'm going to have to paint the studs black or something to hide it from sticking out past my wheel not the look i was hoping for but oh well... as long as i get to race i'm happy

in the 3/8 size are the jegs spacers the only option?? they almost cost what a wheel cost...its weird how the jeg stars need no grinding but the jeg draglites do... those gorilla lugnuts seem pretty slick
