What 15 inch wheel fits our cars (for drag radials)?

RStrick0352 · May 28th, 2007, 04:42 PM

While looking a sizes for drag radials I noticed the 15 in ones were the cheapest, I just dont know which wheel would have the correct backspacing and such. Does anyone know?

the width of tires are about 9inches and the 15inches might be okay because slicks have such big side wall not sure though

are you wanting radials or slicks?
bogart, weld, and centerline make wheels that fit our cars...(thanks emay)

RStrick0352 · May 28th, 2007, 09:30 PM

can you give me a specific style of thos brands that fit, and I'd be running drag radials, I'm pretty sure Mickey Thompson makes their drag radial in a 15 inch. Dont they?

I've been looking for the same info for 3 months...I haven't found much other than Weld, Centerline, etc. I'm looking for a cheap ass set of 17x10.5 bullets (yeah, so they kinda match my front stockers) that I can throw some M/T E.T. radials on for weekend "cruising"...if anyone's found anything like that, let me know! The only thing I can tell you for sure is that the wheels that fit the new edge cars won't fit ours cuz of the backspacing (if you wantd, you could throw spacers on). I read somewhere that 15s are pushing the limits on our caliper clearance anyways...good luck, and like I said if you find anything, let me know!

idk, emay enlightened me that they make stuff for our cars, I want some skinnies up front!

See link to modern muscles question about skinnies and you will see photo's of s-197's with drag attire on..

There's plenty of wheels out there for these cars.. As mentioned bogart centerline, weld are some of the mains that carry them. There's many more manufacturers and styles out there.
