What did you have to do to make them fit, and what is the width and BS?

Thanks.

Fronts? rears? which ones?
I recently tried some 15x8's (5.5" backspacing) on the rear and they would have required way too much caliper grinding, or the use of about a 3/8 spacer to get them to work. So I didn't use them (I started a thread about them here in this section several weeks ago, it has a pic, too).

For fronts, I have a pair of 15x3.5 skinny rims that I'm trying to sell now. They have 1.75" backspacing, and would require a spacer to use, as most skinnies do. And as a result, longer wheel studs, or one of those spacers with wheel studs in them. I've considered using one of those that is 1" thick with the studs in them, instead of using a separate spacer and installing separate longer wheel studs.

One thing for sure, those drag lites are nice and lightweight!

In his defense though, the search would probably lead him right back to making a thread because there is entirely too much information (and bullshit cluttering the thread). I have read it all and still don't know what the right thing to do is.

I agree also having read over and over and still not being sure what will work...and finding out that what worked for most didn't work for me at all. So at that I stopped bullshitting myself and bought Bogart Welded R/T's.

Haha yea man I the limited amount of things I do to my car I try to do right so rather than spacers,grinders,new studs etc. I figured I would just do what I really wanted in the long run. I definately paid for it but the piece of mind knowing I'm getting the lightest, nicest, and proper fitment wheels has me finally happy in the 15 inch wheel search.

My car is an 06 with only 5000 miles on it so my Bogart's will always be on my car minus winter weather. I will definately drive the Bogart's on the street with 8ply tires up front, keeping in mind I drive like 900 miles a year on well paved road so it solves my overall problem.
