how much did they quote you for the 17" biz ?

Hey guys, I am new here, just wanted to throw in my option...I have 15x4 and 15x10 Holeshots sitting here waiting on tires...Hopefully tires will be here this week...I have a couple of pics that show "an idea" of what they look like...I mounted one up without tires...They do use a spacer....The backspacing on the fronts are 1 7/8" and the rears are 7 7/8" both running 7/8" spacers front and rear......

BTW, I need help deciding on tire size...I am need a good hooking tire, preferrably M/T's....What size should I run, 275/60's or 325/50's???

Here are some pics.....

Sorry for the size of pics....

Thanks,
Chris

Welcome!

Do you have any rear suspension work yet ? We all have major problems fitting fat tires in the rear in someway or another.

I´ll be waiting on you to post pics of the rear rims with tires already in.

 

[Chris06GT]

I do not have the wheels on back yet...I do however have some rear suspension work....I have a BMR sway bar relocation kit, and MMR Coil-overs...The MMR coil-overs do not effect the clearance issue...Other than that, I have personally seen Mustangs at a shop in Florida that were running 15x10's Holeshot's and Bogarts, they were all running 325/50's with no problem whatsoever.....I really don't see any reason to have clearance issues, as soon as I get my tires on, I wheel check that to be sure...

Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here....

Chris

Nice, I also have the MMR coilover setup, so that´ll be a + in the new pics ! lol

The coilover though, makes less inner space for the tire, don_w posted some pics of his car some days ago, he had to use a spacer for his 15" to fit properly.

What are the price on those rears btw?

 

[biz4765]

Didn't get that far yet but they should be the same price as the other 17in GW's that are already out (the ones that look similar to draglites) which are priced on Summit.

 

[Chris06GT]

I want to say the rears were around $325ish a piece....That is wheel with spacer and lugnuts and center cap....

If I'm not mistaken you can fit regular draglites with a 7/8" spacer.

good luck with that they have been coming out ........... for about what a year now ?


has any1 tried the billet specialties ? http://store.summitracing.com/partd...923105+4294794868+4294755963+115&autoview=sku

Billets wont clear the calipers. I have been talking with them to make a wheel to fit our cars. That was at the beginning of this year. They have a 17" wheel but its not SFI approved.

[Freaknazty]

Still it seems like someone from the company would love to be involved in this thread . No disrespect intended!

 

[Born To Run]

Greg Weld

My guess 400 a piece, I hope i´m wrong.

$130-$175.

Greg Weld Wheels

When was this conversation? I know they have been saying it's getting closer but a week or two from now would be SWEET.

I hope they are making a shit load of these because they're going to need too, once someone confirms they fit.

Mike told me the week of Sept 15 or 22.I talked to him Sept 3/08.

 

[Freaknazty]
