Polished Drag-Thrust Wheel
im thinking about buying a set but noticed they only come with a 5.5 bs in the 15x10 anyone happen to have pics of what they look like on a 3rdgen
i found a post form 2 years ago but it doesnt state if they are the 15x8 or 15x10;s with the 5.5 bs
its either going to be those or a set of the summit fast fives in 15x4 and 15x10 with 6.5 bs
they do look rather good on the 4thgen
and heres the few pics i did find but it looks liek it may have been 2 diff sets of wheels on the back of the car judging my how far they stick out in some pics and not the others but cant tell with the angle
look like its sticking out there ,but in this pic below it looks like its on further

Re: Polished Drag-Thrust Wheel
twin turbo car it needs all the tire it can get , my v6 turbo car has 10 inch wide slicks on 15x8 welddraglite's and it doesnt work well rims to narrow
ive got 15x9's on it now with a 5.5 backspace they are perfect fitment wise but are ugly as all heck
( old school centerlines )

Re: Polished Drag-Thrust Wheel
i have an 8.8 im putting in it for now and since i have to cut the tubes anyways it will be easy to get them in the right place , and then when i order and 9 inch or whatever i can just have it made the same size

Re: Polished Drag-Thrust Wheel
That puts them in the same place... that works, I just debate if I would go narrower or wider if I was doing what you're doing, I wouldn't do stock width again, the wheels just don't exist for it... honestly, with my current project if I was going to do it over I'd probably go 1 or 1.25" wider, but the reason is a long story.
