got a 2006 GT want to buy jegs drag wheels, looking at 15x 8. wondering what back space to clear calipers and still put 26x10x 15 mickey Thompson slicks inside wheel wells any body done this? need help

Not Jegs wheels but I can illustrate what 10 x 15 7.25" BS Race Stars with 325/50/15 would look like using Steeda Sport Springs. My combination is both wider and taller than what you plan on using.
I wanted to tuck the tires in since my car now has an Air Lift performance suspension. To do this I narrowed the differential 1" per side.

well, I tried jegs with 4.5 and 5.5 back space and they didn't clear the calipers. the guy at jegs thinks maybe weld drag lites might work because they have much more size options any body know? must be some one out there running 15 inch slicks on a 2006 GT

So what is wrong with 15 x 10 or 15 x 8 Race Stars. On the 15 x 10 you need sway bar relocation brackets but I understand they are not required for the 15 x 8.

The first couple of pictures illustrate the "jig and pucks" used for welding everything square.

Thanks Marcus. I am from Ontario, Canada and had the differential tubes narrowed and welded at a local shop, LE Chassis Engineering. The cost was $450 and I was very happy with the work done. At the same time I went with a Strange Engineering 35 spline axle and spool package with C-Clip Eliminators.

EDIT: Or maybe the "jig and pucks" picture was the "new" housing all along and you painted it black afterwards?

Looking at the pictures it looks like paint was scraped off. So may have cleaned and painted the "new" rear end, and then repainted once the work was done.
