Default Drag Wheel ?

I'm looking for 15 inch rear drag wheel and 17 inch front skinnies. I saw the combo on RPM outlet with aluma-star and MH tires for around 2000$. Do somebody use this combo. Are they come with the correct offset? For tires and wheel it seem to be a good price.

What else I'm gonna need to make this work? I saw somewhere that i have to relocate something in the rear.

What do you guys use around here? WELD, BOGART, BILLET SPECIALITIES

Thanks

For 15" rears, you'll need to relocate the rear sway bar. Bogart makes the only rear that fits as far as I'm aware. Greg Weld Racing is working on some, but the first set didn't fit, and with his recent passing, it may take a while before the revised ones come out. Greg Weld does make 17's front and rear that fit perfectly, but the rears are on backorder, and fronts may be too. Stay away from RPM Outlet. They've screwed way too many people.

If you can find some discontinued Weld XP's used, those will fit too.

You can get a set of Bogarts for 1,700.00. Just call Bogart and tell them what you want. Here's mine with 15" all the way around. You will need to relocate the sway bar.

Your wheels look awesome! Nice Fit

What kind of Bogart are they?

What is your combo on tire front and rear?

15 inch fit in front? I was thinking that it wouldn't fit because of the brake

The wheels I beleive are the D10's

15" will fit fine with the front skinnies.

You can get a Sway Bar relocation from BMR.

What kind of tire are you rinning and what size are they?

Because right now, I'm running MT ET STREET 26/10.50/16 on 95 wheel and I have to change to the fifth gear at the end of the quarter and I'm pretty sure that I lose a few tenths.

Time to switch to a taller tire, like M&H. Not only are you losing time changing gears, 5th is overdrive. It's absolutely useless for power.

I run a 28 tall true 10.5 MT slick. Same thing as this car:



Actually....there the takeoffs from this car. He can only make three passes before he has to change tires. There's still plenty of meat on them for me after that, I don't have nearly the horse power!
