FD Drag Wheels

I am in the market for a set of drag wheels for my fd. I would like to get either 15's or 16's in the rear and possibly 17" skinnies up front. Anyone have any experience with any specific Weld wheels? I was browsing a few drag wheel sites and the offsets seemed like they wouldn't work on an fd. Can anyone share their setup?

why wouldnt they work, just get a set of 15x8's for the rear, if your running slicks for the strip that should be all you need... and for the front get the same wheels for the strip in 16"x4 or 16x5 weld makes um.. draglights would be cool on a FD for the strip i think!

Its the backspacing. None of them have the proper back spacing. I will just be using stock fd wheels for now.

ohh i was under the impression you didnt have the stockers, but yes many many people run the stockers with hoosier slicks and MT slicks with excellent results! I dont see why it wouldnt work with your car also.
