last piece for the track

stal94gt · March 22nd, 2011, 01:00 AM

i originaly was going to run on a set of 15x8 cragar soft 8 steel wheels but had a change of thought and decided to order a set of fast five aluminum wheels, they are 15x10 with a 6.5 inch back space. im hoping to cut some 1.5 sixty foots on them with 26x10 hooser drag slicks.

this is my first time using hooser drag slicks so i have high expectations for them.

Looks like a good setup man

nice man, and those will meet your expectations...we use them on our foxe and they hook like crazy everywhere, especially at the track!

Nicos2001GT · March 22nd, 2011, 01:04 AM

Legit man, im hopeing to get a set after track tires pretty soon

stal94gt · March 22nd, 2011, 01:13 AM

im excited for this race season. im shooting for high 6's in the 1/8th and mid 10's in the quarter.

yeah yeah i know i need a cage, i want front runners, just cant figure out which ones to run. every one needs a wheel spacer and im not really wanting to pull the tires with wheel spacers.

WhiteVenom · March 22nd, 2011, 01:28 AM

Yeah i have a 1" spacer

Get 17"s or get GT brakes. Only options.

i know it sucks, im not really wanting to ditch the cobra brakes so im trying to find a 17 inch front runner that does not require a spacer

WhiteVenom · March 22nd, 2011, 01:40 AM

Thats my whole dilemma to. I dont want to down grade braking performance just to run skinnys 20 times a year.

stal94gt · March 22nd, 2011, 01:42 AM

i see people with 17 inch skinnies on the front just dont know who makes direct fit ones for our cars

WhiteVenom · March 22nd, 2011, 01:49 AM

Shoot me a link if you find any cheap alternatives!

Just checking

WhiteVenom · March 22nd, 2011, 02:38 AM

I dont like how far my front runners stick out with a 1" spacer but ive decided im going to get 3" studs and then run a 1/2" spacer. With a slight caliper grind this works with my 15x3.5

stal94gt · March 22nd, 2011, 02:50 AM

yeah i dont know if i trust running my wheels like that, running wheel spacers is not always the safest thing

Race Star Industries

I think they clear cobra brakes in a 17x4.5 but call Mustang Performance Parts & Upgrades by Brenspeed
to be shure, Brent runs racestar wheels on every car he has so he would know.

Nicos2001GT · March 25th, 2011, 11:05 PM

Would i have to get a spacer if i want to run a set of front runner for the GT?

F8L GT · March 25th, 2011, 11:06 PM

no, you just need to either grind a little bit of the caliper bracket down or cut the caliper bar right off
