Drag Wheel pics!

[madsupra88]

Madsupra what front rims/tires are you running, and where did you buy them? I can't find anything decent for my fronts.

My wheels are weld (dragstars)

Best lookin in my opinion. with M/T DR's in the rear and M/T streets in the front.


Btw.. weld did not shut down, they are owned by a different company. i believe its centerline.

I would just find some Welds, or Centerlines or something along those lines id get atleast a 9in wheel. so you can put some 26x10.5x15 slicks, thats the most popular size for slicks. So you'll have plenty of options for tires.

ya illl get those kind.. i saw some cool m/t rims at my speedshop.. ill get 9im. ones but for he offset on stock suspension, what i should use?

 

[madsupra88]

I used 5.5 offset and they sit flush with my body line

As the first post states,
275/60/15 or 28X11.5/15 will fit on the rear with a 8" wide 5.5" backspace rim.
this is using the stock eibach jza70 struts.
I DID roll the fenders, my car is lowered with eibach springs, but the rear is also gutted.
I had a slight rub before rolling fenders, but no problems now.
Thanks everyone for the help. I hope to post pics soon.

ran r32 gtr wheels (8" +30mm offset) with 255 mt et streets when i dragged my supra last.

shame welds and the like arent that cheap over in australia. would love a set of magnums but need 16" rims to fit brakes on rear

ya, old thread bump

im looking at a set of 17x9 wheels for drag, im using 17" M/T slicks (big brakes in back, so no small wheels)

these wheels come in 4.5" or 5" back spacing, which should i get?

 

[madsupra88]

5 would be the best, deff rollyour fenders though! they will tuck in very nice.

Hard to tell in the pic, but, how far are they sticking out, or they?

They look pretty nice actually, cost much?

the actual wheel sticks out about 1/3", but with the tires on it, its closer to 1/2" out, should be able to clear them whenever i have time without major body work.

and theyre $65 a piece

I actually just have some 06 mustang gt "bullit" wheels with mt et streets. Ill try and get pics soon. They actually fit quite well. Good offset and all.

Can u get them with different backspacing? That would make more sense to me.

Duane

Oh, how heavy are they?
