15" wheels on a '99, will they and brakes fit?

sweet99 · January 4th, 2007, 08:40 PM

I was toying with the idea of a set of WELD Pro Stars, 15" x 10" or 12" and a wide tire like a M/T ET street tire. Is this tire actually FULLY streetable? Just curious if anyone has 15" wheels, thanks, mark

if you have a stock GT they will fit but i would recommend 15x8 with a 5.5in backspacing. and maybe some M/T ET Drag Radials

You have a different pic. Didn't you run WELDS on a black GT? Would 15" x 10" be too wide for the back? mark
I use 315/35's on a 10.5" now. Also I ned to find out if the MT's are truly a street radial as they say in Summit. Mrk

i used to. i've had 2 sets of welds both of them were 15x8's i ran a set of M/T ET streets,ET drags and drag radials with 450rwhp and they hooked fine.

you need a 10.5 on a street tire to make up for the lack of sidewall.

and yes the ET drag radials are streetable but i wouldn't drive 50 miles on the interstate or nothing like that,but city driving should be fine.
