Default Looking for Drag rims and slicks, need help!

I'ver searched around, but I still can't find the answer to my question!

I want to buy some Weld racing rims (15x10, 15x6(fronts)). I'm having trouble finding the right rim size for my stang... as well as tire. I was going to go with some hoosier slicks. I think...28x10x15

please help!

Weld wheels wont fit. You would need spacers for those wheels, not an option if you will be NHRA inspected. Bogarts are the only racing wheels that will bolt right on and they still require relocation brackets. There were some older Weld wheels that fit (XP?) but those are nect to impossible to find.

Why wouldnt the 15x6 fit the front it seems to me you could get zero backspacing and it should still fit.

The rears are the issue. They hit the calipers and LCA mounts. That is why you need relo brackets with the Bogarts also.

Forget about smaller wheels, too much of a pain !!

Extra set of (2)17x8 bullit wheels off of craigslist: $120
M/T ET drag radials(275/40/17) from Summit Racing : $360
Mounting and balancing @ Discount Tire: $30

Never spinning again: PRICELESS !!!!!!!


LOL

For the rear you need 6 3/4 offset and a spacer of 1/2 to clear the rear calipers.
