Combined 15" wheel Fitment Thread

[h8imports]

youll have to see if Chad05gt chimes in here soon and explains why he suggested to run a spacer for the rears. Im sorry i forgot the issue he ran into but i wish i rememberd. It was so long ago. Ill see if i cna bring the old PM up to let u guys see where im comign from. Im sorry for the confusion.

Yea let us know. I have ran mine with no issues for a while on the street as well as at the track. *Knock on Wood* No issues.

This is what chad said to me in a old PM,


"the rears DO clear... but NOT much. Good thing I did get the spacers, last March broke axel gears, so axel move a little in/out side to side... w/o spacers would have locked the wheel!!"

Hey Guys,

First time poster here, but I've been lurking in this particular thread for a while.

I just got these installed a couple of weeks ago:

Jegs Prostar 15x4 - Mickey Thompson ET Fronts 26x4.5"
Jegs Prostar 15x8 - Mickey Thompson ET Street 26x11.5"

I used the 3/8" spacer up front, and had to grid a TINY little bit on my rear calipers.

Looks killer man!!!

Those rears are 275/50's correct?

 

[US-1]

That is one big fuckin' hood scoop.

That would be correct, sir.

 

[Chris06GT]

That would be correct, sir.

I thought it was....I think I am gonna run some 275/60's depending on the gear....maybe a 325/50

 

[US-1]

I'm doing 275/60-15 with 3.73's.

 

[waketek516]

haha thanks (i think)

Its the cervini's B9 - same scoop ford ended up using on the CJ.

 

[waketek516]

That would be correct, sir.

Yeah the car serves street/strip duty and with the springs I have that's the tallest DR I could fit right now.

Oh - I'm running 4.10s

They look great on a 10" wide rim, they get stretched a bit Im going to use the same tire on the street

Big's n little's FTW

 

[RedFire07GT]

waketek516, those are some nice wheels. Same ones im running at the track. Im using a 255/60-15 MT ET Street DR. The JEGS are nice, but im thinking about selling them and going with Racestars or Bogarts.

 

[weeloGT]

Big's n little's FTW

Wish I could say Bogarts FTW!! Maybe one day Ill step up when you decided to sell yours, placing order Friday on dragstars

I've had them on several cars with a 10" wheel. Should have seen them on the Fairmont Futura with the rearend narrowed 2 1/2" per side and a mini-tub. Very cool!

First off beautiful car! That is one big scoop. I like it! Makes me want one!! I may get the scoop over the cowl hood I want. Anyway I want ot ask is your car lowered any? The front wheels look better then mine do on my car. My car can be seen on page 24 on this thread. I have a street tire and not a 26 ET Fronts. Thanks and NICE CAR!!!!

Yes. Its lowered with H&Rs. I know they're not ideal for drag racing, but it's also my daily driver/street car - so its gotta serve double duty for now. I wanted to go with a 28" rear, but there's no way it would fit. From ground to fender I'm at 27.5". That's why the 26s look perfect in there.

Someday I'll upgrade to Bogarts and a CJ rear suspension

Man car looks killer!!! I want the CJ suspension also. I drive my car everyday as well. I want to lower my car but I race to much for me to do that.
