i just dropped my rims off to john at m/h. he just got a shipment in on the tires i needed last week. he was pretty busy filling orders so i'm picking them up from him tomorrow after i get out of class. i went with the 185/75/15 front runners which are a 26" tire. he measured my saleen wheels and they are 26", a 27" tires would probably hit the wheel well on my car since it's lowered. he even invited me out to lunch with him tomorrow but i can't make it due to class but will be picking the tires up from him tomorrow once they're ready. i'll post some pics tomorrow when i get them mounted.

[mikeysgt]

Does anyone know how much the Holeshot wheels are? I emailed them and got a price of ~$400 for the 15x10" but they said their direct pricing was more than what their distributors charge ...

Check with john at BBR, they carry holeshots.

Thanks !! I thought they were cheaper than Bogarts. I've seen Bogarts for that much ...

ok guys here it is.....

just got back from m/h after getting my front runners and rear drag radials put on

here are a few pics i took once i got home

front runners are 185/75/15's and the rears are the 275/60/15's.
had to grind the rear calipers to make them fit a few weeks ago. thought the fronts fit fine with the 3/8 spacer BUT after putting them on when i got home i found out they have a SLIGHT rubbing issue. not as much as the rears but just a little bit. still spin the rims over the calipers but i can hear and see where the rubbing is. shouldn't take more than a little bit of grinding of the front calipers to get them to fit perfect

Quick question... Where can i get longer lug nuts to fit on these? i used the stock lugs and they hold ok but when taking them back off it didn't take that much pressure to get the lugs loose. just want to make sure i get enough thread in there for a secure hold before i run them.

Looks great Mikey, good question on the lug nuts. Ive been looking into the ARP wheel studs but just cant justify almost $70 per side. Cant wait to see some action out of that car with that setup.

hey mikey, how much grinding of the rear calipers were involved? i tried to put on my jegs 15x8 rears last night and the tire locked. btw, i have an 08.

 

[mikeysgt]

it took quite a bit of grinding to get the rears to clear the calipers. i'd say a couple of mm's at least. i had my mechanic do it for me while he installed my anti-squat bracket and adj panhard bar for me.

 

[joestang08123]

could you possibly post some pics of the grinded rear calipers? i guess i know what i'm doin this weekend.

 

[mikeysgt]

i would but i painted over the grinding last week when i painted my calipers black. you can tell what you're grinding once you get them on... it's the outside edge of the calipers... i'll be doing my fronts next week when i get some time

 

[joestang08123]

thanks for the info man.
