Weld draglites??Help/ASAP
Hey guys. I want to buy a set of weld draglites for my 92 camaro. I found a pair on craigslist for cheap. They are 15X10with a 7.5 back space. Will they fit with out any problems?? No cutting or hammers! Thanks

Re: Weld draglites??Help/ASAP
I think most people run 6.5" backspacing with those wheels and stock width rear ends. I have 15x8's with 5.5" backspacing with my wider 4th gen rear and it fits fine. Thirdgen rears run 4.5" backspacing with 15x8 wheel.
So those wheels you have will sit in another inch. Depending on the tire size you may get away with doing much. I know others have done it but not sure if much work was involved. Probly going to have to check inner fender well clearance. beat in the front lower metal abit, its soft and bends easily. That should help alot. With my setup I can tuck in another inch I think without problems. I run 26x11.50 ET street
