Any loss with 15's?
 
I've tried getting as much information on 15 inch rims as I can, so I thought I'd get your opinions.

I'm thinking about getting these:

Can someone explain the pros and cons of having these on my pony? I love the looks of the classics and i'm trying to pay homage to them.

I do plan on getting the usuals (CAI/tune, 4.10s, UDP, eventually an X), just incase you needed to know.

Also, what kind of tire would you recommend? I'd obviously love a thick sidewall :) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This would be best posed in the Handling forum. But I think the only negative would be if you were doing motor-X or some serious twisties where handling might be somewhat compromised. But other than that, it's all positive: straight line performance and looks, IMO. I LOVE the idea of 15's and the tall sidewall. Find some 15" tires with RWL's and it'll look about 7 tenths faster!

Make sure that they would clear the brake calipers though.

if you want those wheels...the bs is wrong with 15's they need to be 5.5 backspace! those wheels will stick out to much and you will have road rash all over your rear quarter panel!

Do you recommend any places that sells 5.5 backspaces (sp?)? I wouldn't want them to stick out TOO much...might look kind of cholo-ish which i'm NOT going for, lol
