Hey newbie here to S197 forum. So If this question has been asked before sorry.

I have a 06 Gt and I have seen some guys with 15's on back. I know you have to get the KIT for the sway bar but who makes the wheel. I ordered some greg welds just to cancel th order. They dont make them to fit our cars unless you go with a 17. Well I fixed my problem. I found bogarts but they are like 920$ for rear wheels. I dont have that kind of money to spend on rear wheels. My solution to the problem is I went to Junkyard and bought some ranger wheels. I used a spacer and they work just fine for now. I have a set of M/T 26x10.5 mounted on the wheels. I know its not pretty but it gets me on track with out using my street tires. I paid 10$ for them wire wheeled them an painted them gloss black.
Is there a cheap wheel out there that fits the back? Ok Now for the front I been thinking baout running a 17x4 who makes a wheel that will go on front?

yes My best run there was 8.2 for the day. Yeah I talked to you when you pulled in and needed air.
I have been searching for wheels and tires for a month now. I was going to go with greg welds but after ordering and checking on order they dont make a 15 to fit the S197. :( So now I just got some ranger wheels from junkyard and put my M/T on there so waiting to get back out to track. what skinnys do you have on front are you running a spacer?

Would have been alot better if I had been able to floor it for the NOS to come on in first. If I try it just spins bad cause of the street tires.

Welcome to the forum! :beerdrink:

I've made a few hundred passes at Barona over the past few years, so I'm no stranger to the place. I hope to be back out there soon, so maybe we'll get a chance to meet. :thumb:
