Weld Racing Prostars????

[don_w]

A 9" wheel with a 5.5" backspace and a 10" wheel with a 6.5" backspace will put the tires at the same distance from the wheelwells.

And add in the spacer and the bs is even less.

 

[Mustangfreak]

SO, still no definite 15" prostar for our car?

 

[US-1]

Looks like a 15x10 with 5.5" backspacing and a 5/16" spacer & 3" studs. Grind lettering off calipers. Front 15x3 1/2" with a 1.75" backspacing and a 1/2" spacer & 3" studs.

If you need an 8" I'd still get the 5.5" backspacing.

Hmm, should I?

Also, these would need a 26" correct? Do yall preffer a 28" over a 26" Why?

 

[Mustangfreak]

Hang on, do the rear tires stick out whatso ever from the fender? If so, no thanks. Just doesnt look clean.

 

[US-1]

Look at the pictures. Judge for yourself. Keep in mind that the photos of Les' car show a 26x10 slick. If you only need an 8" or 9" tire you are in good shape.

It's your money.

those would work if you can clear the caliper.

I'm almost to the point where I'm ready to grind the calipers.

Billet Specialties has a 15x10 with 7.5'' bs too.

 

[Freaknazty]

[Hitman]

some dude had some greg weld wheels on his Mustang at the track yesterday. It was on an older car(01-02?). They don't look as nice in person as they do on their old site.

 

[Freaknazty]

They are supposed to have an S197-specific set of wheels sometime around March. They had some inkblot trying to answer questions in their booth at SEMA so I got no help there. I'm hoping they have somebody with a little more information at their PRI booth.

Vaporware. Who gives a shit anymore. Even if they release them and they fit I'd throw them back through the front window of their building.

yea i know its getting ridiculous they already have a new body style out and we still dont even have fuckin wheels that fit , and i mean shit its not like they had any other sports cars to make them for hell the camaro still is vaporware lol

 

[Hitman]

hundred bucks says that the Welds they make now will fit the fucking Camaro.

 

[US-1]

Who cares? Camaro is fucking Vaporware too. They can build all the promo cars they want, display them at whatever goddamned car show they want, and tell the world how badly they're gonna stomp Ford and the Mustangs.

Until I see one roll off the car hauler at a dealership, I'm not worried. And once I see one on the street......I'll blow his fuckin' doors off.

The Billet Specialties 15x10 with 7.5'' bs has a 4 3/4" bolt circle diameter. In other words last gen Camaro.

Is it so fucking hard to make wheels to fit a car that had a first year production run of over 150,000 units?

 

[US-1]

They told me at SEMA (but, again, this wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack I talked to) that they make them with both 5 on 4.75 and 5 on 4.5 bolt circle.

There is a listing on their website showing 17" versions. A 17x9.5 with a 7.50" backspacing. Guess I need to call tomorrow and ask if it comes with a 5 on 4.5 bolt circle.

EDIT: Just clicked on the "Tech Info" tab on the Street Light page. Here is what was listed:

Wheels with backspace of 5.5 or more check for brake clearance by measuring from the center of the axel to the top of the caliper. This measurement cannot exceed 6-9/16" (6.5625") or caliper will come in contact with the drop center of the wheel.

Yes....they spelled axle wrong. So...somebody go pull a wheel off and measure from the axle-wheel face to the top of the caliper.

 

[Freaknazty]

same thing they told me a good while back ..... no real answer just " well um if it has less than a 13" drop center then uh yea it'll fit " i was like wtf you make the fuckin wheels and you dont even measure something like that ?


and i would but im stuck in your neck the woods till thurs lol

 

[thump_rrr]

This is what I'm talking about.

They charge a $100.00 premium per wheel for the relocated dropped center!!!
