Another 15 inch wheel option>?

[Freaknazty]

yea thats like a cobra b/s so probably about a 1" to 1.5" just buy mine i know they fit and already mounted on rims lol

IMO if I cant drive it on the street then the last thing I what is to be going 130 down the track with it !

I've had them on cars at 180 mph. You won't find potholes on a race track.

Before I bought the Bogarts I was looking into the BS's pretty hard. Unfortunately, they seem to not be interested in tapping the S197 market with a 15" wheel option.

Pretty much what they told me at PRI. Essentially....."Oh a Mustang? Yeah....whatever."

17x9.5 with a 7.5 b.s will that work? m&h has a 17" dot slick. maybe thats an option?

I'm waiting on my contingency check from either Mickey Thompson or FRPP and I'm going to try those wheels. I believe they'll work. If they work on the rear then I'll either change the brakes on the front or run a spacer so I can use the 15" wheels on the front end.

If not.....I'm going with Holeshot Wheels.

I got these wheels for Christmas and some 3/8" wheel spacers. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/67001/10002/-1#

I finally tried them on today, but they don't clear the calipers. They rub just a little. If I get them balanced, the weights will make it worse. I can probably use 1/2" spacers and if the weights interfere, I'll have to grind on the calipers.

Also, no way I'll be able to use the stock studs after using 1/2" spacer.

i have those also, i have a 2007 gt, and i got mine to fit. at first i tried them on at night, and was having a hard time, and it was grinding in one small area. didn't make sense to me at all. then the next day i went out and messed with it for 5 minutes in the light and got them to work fine.i have the pro star replicas though, so i dont know if the inside of the wheel is designed a little different or something. i'm using a 3/8 spacer too.

Actually they are very strong and likely more than enough for any trap speed you (160-180mph) are likely to attain. Also lots of folk do use them on the street. Bogart don't recommend them for street use, mostly because of the mileage-induced issues associated with street use compared to dragstrip use.

Ok get it about the track only wheels . By the way I love your reolution! Good luck!

Incidently that's more mph than this car will ever see too...lol

I don't name cars, but if I did, I'd call ours Humpty Dumpty. We're about to put all the motor pieces back together in the next few days (blew head gaskets and pistons three weeks ago). We're just 1/10 from being a 9s ride...I'd put a 106mm in there to get that 1/10...lol

That was at 27# right ?

Yes. But the two back to back 10.0s were at 22 lbs and actually car was running on fouled plugs and misfiring that night. We've made quite a few changes to try and avoid our little misadventure. We're going back to 22 lbs for one. Trap speed is indicative of a potential 9.8, so with a change to Brisk plugs and a few other things, including a JPC intake manifold, 9s are definitely possible, without increasing boost, although timing could go up some.

I just ment the gaskets went at 27# , not the time. Are yall likeing the Brisk more than the HTOs at high boost and timming or have you used the Brisk plugs all along? Shit forgot this is a wheel thread . LOL ! PM me .
