RE: Drag Rims
ORIGINAL: 8banger
Why would you have to change the studs everytime at the track?1/2 inch spacers and 3 inch wheel studs with open end lugs may work..its gonna be a try and see unless someone has actaully done it and found it didnt work...

15 inch rims won't work on the fronts with the 13 inch brake upgrade, and if you did it on the back I don't think it will work either.
The only way to make it work is wheel studs and spacers on the front, but its a major PITA to change the studs every time you go to the track, simply not worth it.

I am not a big fan of the wheelspacers that have the studs in them already, where you bolt them on. Anything that does that HAS to weaken the attachment point, not exactly a good idea on a rim thats ment for drag racing.
unfortunatly, the only cheap solution for a 16 inch racing rim is a steel one, all the 16 inch + aluminum rims (lightweight ones) I have seen are expenisve.

Like I said, I have them on my rear and my wheels aren't falling off. Even if it is a drag car, unless its a 4x4, I doubt there is going to be a lot of torque coming off the front wheels. But ok they suck you're right!

RE: Drag Rims
Screw the spacers. I have the same problem you do. Here's a nice, decent looking, CHEAP *** solution.

RE: Drag Rims
Thanks for the limk. I have 18x9 Enki PKR's now. I want a light weight rim up front for the track. What do you guys think of going with the Steeda light weight ones. Little more than I wanted to spend but if that is all that is out there it may be worth it.
