Combined 15" wheel Fitment Thread

[Hawgman]

these tires dont rub at all!! heres another pic, maybe it because i have stiff eibachs in it??!?! but i launched her at like 4200 this morning, no rub!!

Well there is quite a difference in the way the suspension reacts (and the car squats) between launching on the street and spinning, and launching on the track and sticking. I think I would have went with a 9" or 9.5" if they couldn't give a 7.5" back spacing. Don't get me wrong, they still look sharp as hell. Just sayin'...


Here are the two angles I want to see and asked for in my previous post. One from the back, and one looking straight down toward the ground from above the fender.

ok well little update fellas i just ordered a set of greg weld prolites for out back 17x9.5 w/ 7" bs chromes ( for a hair over $200 if i might add lol ) and will be ordering the fronts to match in a minute i will be trying a new wheel the prolite 15x3.5 with 1.75 bs chromes , hopefully i can make this setup work or i will be severly pissed lmao


......also a little update on greg weld itself .....now take this with a grain of salt just hear-say from a few guys BUT supposedly they have 8 - 54 ft. cargo containers slap full of the new designs sitting on a ship dock out west in ca waiting for the buyout/transfer whatever the hell you wanna call it to happen and they also have a large shipment sitting in china too that didn't make it on the ship before all the bs went down , SUPPOSEDLY they should be said and done in 2 to 3 months but we all know how that goes lol

Found some Bogart for our cars. Advertised as 15x10 with a 7.25 b/s. This is through Roush. According to your list it needs to be 15x9.75 with a 7.25 b/s. Are they just off a bit ya think?

Speaking of greg weld. 2 things:

werent they the ones with some problem wiht the lug nuts where every time u bolt em on they destroy some washer?

Also, would that container have anything to do with the flood of those wheels on ebay a month or so ago?

not sure on the washer

but as far as the ebay " overstock " those all came from the kansas city ? auction i think thats where the auction was .....anyway everyone i talked to said that's where they got them

 

[Liftedbronco]

i may just grab these as daily drivers. its always been my desire to do 17x8 up front and 15x10 out back.

I decided to try a new spacer based on Ranebowcyxx's recommendation, just to see if it cleared the V6 front brakes without grinding. Though mine are already ground, I did take measurements, and this spacer seems to work without any grinding and offers plenty of stud left for the lug nuts.

There are a bunch of V6 guys that upgraded to GT brakes, so I'm sure these can be had for a fair price, or a trade. Buckman runs front V6 brakes on his turbo 5.4 4v car and has no problems stopping.

For those interested in the Roush drag pack Bogart's they require longer studs.

 

[Dex]

i just bought those. which studs did you get?

 

[biz4765]

I didn't get the wheels as I knew they needed longer studs which I don't feel like doing.

 

[TC05GT]

My '05 with Summit Racing cast 15" 541 series wheels. 4" up front with 165 80 15 tires and 8" out back with 275 60 15 Hoosier drag radials. I used Cragar ET Conical nuts (60 degree tapered nut with a .300" shank as well, part number 27804-4) up front with a 7/16" spacer. Out back, simply bolted them on with the stock nuts. Clearances are tight to the caliper, but no rub.

Well it is a total no go for the Greg Weld 15x8 wheels. There is no way to make them work with the stock calipers. I have pics that I will upload later. I did take some pics of the grinding that was done to fit the Greg Weld skinnies though.

Anyone heard any updates on the Billet Specialties wheels?

 

[MikeyBlacks]

Prolly gave save my $$$ & buy BOGARTS....

 

[Kipp07GT]

Oh well on the greg welds, I think im just gonna go with the jegs wheels, cheap and still look good on the car.

 

[05yellowgt]

Here are some pics of the fitment of my Greg Weld Dragstar 15x3.5 1.75 BS wheels. You can see most of the grinding that was done to the caliper to make them fit with no spacers and stock studs.
