RE: Drag Rims
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.

They do make spacers with extrastuds in them. They slip over the existing studs and have new ones on the spacer for the rims. I have 1 1/2" on my rears. You can just take them on and off when you change your rims back to stock. It would just be 5 extra nuts to take off.

I got mine on ebay. They also sell them in the MM&FF magazine but they are more expensive. I saved like 20 bucks getting them on ebay. Just search up mustangs and wheelspacers and it should pop up. They'll run you about $70.

From what I've been told, many tracks won't allow any spacers that aren't hubcentric.

They're called hubcentric, just for search purposes From what I've been told, many tracks won't allow any spacers that aren't hubcentric.

I'm not saying you're wrong or trying to start anything but I've been to the track more than once and have never had or seen anyone get checked or pulled for having wheel spacers. But I guess it would be something to look into just so you don't waste your money on something you can't use.
