Combined 15" wheel Fitment Thread

[Liftedbronco]

Anyone found better than $1556 shipped for the R/T wheels lugs and hubcaps? I hate to pay that much for a wheel but at least they are DOT approved.

Care to share where?

Sure. I talked to Jim's Racing Tires.

Maybe we can try to get a group deal going if enough of us want to order at the same time.

Group deal sounds good to me...If they will do that for us, it would be awesome!!

.

And you found them on ebay, right? That is the same place I was talking to a month or so ago about some 15X10s and more than one person told me to steer clear of that place.

I was originally referred to them by Mike with Greg Weld when I was finding wheels from them to buy. What have you heard bad about them?

M/T's website recommends a 7.5" - 9.5" rim width. Those are short tires for sure.

so i can use 7.5"-9.5" rim for a 275/50/R15 BFG Drag Radial as well i assume? also im really bad with all this backspacing and needing studs and and reading into thise thread i think i confused myself more.

those first jegs wheels posted should just bolt right up correct? i ask because i could have a smoking deal on like new BFG Drag Radials

Dam. I spoke with holeshot today and they qouted me like 1650. 30 bucks a spacer and 4.99 a lug nut. That's crazy high

Not necessarily... not all tires with the same listed dimensions are actually the same physical size. You should check BFG's website to see what they recommend.

You ask for the all in gold version ?

or it was for the 4 wheels ?

EDIT : Yeah but they have the best spacer on the market (match my wheels color).

ill look into that, but as far as that particular wheel from Jegs, should bolt right in and clear the calipers no problem?

 

[mikeysgt]

if you use the spacers up front they will clear with no problem. the rears might require some grinding of the calipers like mine did. just depends on which calipers you have in the rears.

 

[Shaffe]

well doesnt matter now, got a better look at those BFG DRs and they were bald, so not in a big hurry anymore. but thanks for all the quick replies!

 

[jgilbert04]

Has anyone tried the billet specialties street lite wheels?

 

[CandyRedGT]

Holeshot Holestars for 2007 197 stock GT brakes
Fronts 15x4 with 7/8" spacer total BS 1 7/8"
Rears 15x10 with 7/8" spacer total BS 7 7/8"
You can have Holeshot Wheels weld the spacers on like Bogarts.
No need to change studs, wheels come with McGard long shank lugs/open end.

Do you have a part ## and where do i order the rears??? Thanks
