Combined 15" wheel Fitment Thread

[Matt D]

Matt your car looks incredible on those wheels. I just broke down and bought a pair of Bogart Welded R/T's for the rear of my car and a Coast driveshaft hoping to get into the 12's. I'm definately going to be running the Bogart's on the street, any problems with yours? or is it mainly the fact that you mentioned your running ET streets currently?

Bogarts are not streetable and I do drive them on the street. The bogarts are lighter hands down. I am buying the welds and making the black on black just for the street with some drag radials on the back and skinnies on the front. I will be putting a slick on my bogarts and ditch the et streets. Im tired of running the et streets on the street like I said so I can have both worlds with two sets of rims and two sets of tires.

26x4.5x15 et fronts and 275/50/15 mickey t drag radials for the rear (will be my street set up)

26x4.5x15 et fronts and 26x10.5x15 et drag for the rear (track set up)

The et streets im running now are over 6 years old and killed... lol I bought em used xP

I read all 21 pages. LOL I was just curious if anyone has tried these wheels from Jegs? I going to order some of these or the sport stars.

Thanks for all the info on the wheels. I have been wanting 15's on my car since I bought it.

Thanks. LOL I also want mine in the 11's N/A. My first goal was 12's on street tires and I hit that to easy. LOL I went a 12.97 the first time at the track on my stock tires. LOL Now I want to get some 15's on here.

Love the site it's real imformative on the S197's. From what I've found it's the best out there.

1/2" spacer up front.

1/2" spacer up front.

Is that all you did to make the Prostars fit? I sold my brother my prostars because I couldnt get them to fit at the time, but ive been told I can use them any time I want to. So if thats all you did then I may have a shot at using them after all. Got any pics of the spacer and how far the studs come out?

 

[Chris06GT]

NotQuik, any pics from in front looking down the side of the car?

 

[NotQuik]

Kipp, all i did was add 1/2" spacers and since the lug nuts are a shank style they don't necessarily need to stick out past the rim however extended studs are a good idea and I would like to get some that are alittle longer than stock. The lug nuts right now got 7 1/2 turns until they were fully torqued down but I would be learly of racing the car like this personally. Caliper was not touched as far as grinding goes but the only issue I had was the sticky weight inside the rim hitting the top of the caliper so I had to remove that.


This is about hte closest I have to your request Chris.
