different rim sized drag welds??

bennyjet846 · November 26th, 2011, 10:34 PM

hey guys so i found a dragweld tires on craigslist, went there and checked it out and found out he had front skinnys 15inch rims and the rears are 16 inch rims. is that a common thing that ppl do with drag welds? hes selling it for 400.

Are the fronts 16 in. As well or are they 15

bennyjet846 · November 26th, 2011, 11:07 PM

fronts are 15in and rears are 16s.

ryanw · November 26th, 2011, 11:21 PM

I've never heard if doing that but I'm new to the drag world. Seems odd to me

Usually it's the other way around, smaller circumference rim in the back. Doesn't really matter though, there's plenty of decent tire choices for 16" rear rims. Nothing wrong with staggering rim size as long as you like the way they look. 1" difference is going to be hardly noticeable.

how about performance wise? i didn't know drag welds even made 16's.

I don't thing weld makes 16s. They're probably knockoffs. All weld wheels have Weld Racing stamped on them.

that's what i was thinking too fastback. he did take a picture of the dragwelds stamp on the rims, but i think he only took the picture from the 15 skinnys and not the rears.

I have 15in rear and 17 inch front. Balllllin

Weld did make a 16" wheel. I had a set of draglites on a 93 Coupe. I used 15X3.5"s on the front, but I went with the 16s on the back only because I could still use the tires that came on the stock wheel and didn't have to buy another set.

better tire selection with 15s in the rear i wouldnt do 15s front and 16s rear

69fastback · November 27th, 2011, 11:48 PM

More sidewall = better

bennyjet846 · November 28th, 2011, 03:13 AM

i'll keep looking. i rather have 15's all around.

It is verry common for people to run this actually. Not saying its the correct thing to do. But they do it cuz it gives them the old school muscle slant. even better will kill your cornering performance.
