Default DRAG Wheels FIT?

I got a nice deal on a pair of Weld Draglite 15 inch rear wheels with 28x10.5 MT Drag SLICKS to use on the ROUSH this season...

Before Spring gets here I'd like to know if there will be issues fitting them. Does anyone has experience to advise me..?

The back spacing is 4.5 inch - I believe I have to get the Weld lugnuts, but what else may I need to do? Or will they be fine as is?

It's COLD here in Boston, so don't make me go out and try mounting them NOW...

Oh well... I wish someone had been able to tell me that an S197 needs 7.5 inch backspacing for rear wheels! So now I'm gonna have to list these babies on eBay..!

They wont fit. I tried a set myself! Needs a spacer and longer studs. Not worth it.
Keep the tires and sell the rims. There's 15" rims from jegs and summit that fit.

Brenspeed sells 15's and the tires as well. I believe the rims are $760 while the tires (Rear and front) are about $800. Cool thing is that they're street/strip legal, I don't know if that's what you're looking for, though. They also state that they're made specifically for our s197s and dont need any modifiactions to fit.
