Looking for new Weld racing drag wheels
 

Hi guys
Im living in Athens , and i would like to order Weld racing Prostar 69 drag wheels for my FD .
Who can suggest a good dealer ( with e-mail ) if its possible .... to order these wheels .
Thank you !

Summit Racing or Jegs. I would imagine they both do international sales.

What size wheels are you planning on using?
15" 16"
I want to install 15" weld pro-stars on my FD but dont know how exactly to modify my rear brakes to make them fit. Let me know if you get your to fit

Its a little difficult to fit these wheels ( 15'') on Fd , but you can . Its neccessary to use 0.50 spacers for rear and extended lugs from Weld . Also its necessary to modified the rear fenders !
In the future i will tell you more !
Many drag racers like a Ari Yallon , and Dan Shechter used these wheels, as i know !

Whay would you have to modify your rear fenders????

They should fit just fine as they are right, I believe Ari and Dan use stock fenders, please explain in detail because I really want to do this

your rear fenders might need to be rolled but that's no big deal........ I don't think any modification is needed if the right wheel is picked.

15x8 with a 5x4.1/2 bolt pattern and a 6.5" backspacing for the rear. You'll need to grind the calliper down a bit and grind the nut to the toe link also.

Thanks a bunch ErnieT, this information is very useful. I just have one more question. ( I am not sure what the 6.5" backspacing means?? Is that referring to the spacers needed to fit the wheels or is that seperate? )

Thanks :icon_tup:

When you order weld wheels, you have to specify what back spacing you want. It's the way the wheels are made.

You finally ditching those ugly orange ones?

So no spacers are required right?

Anyways thanks :icon_tup: I will definately order mine this week from Jegs, I believe they sell them the cheapest.

It would be awesome to see some pictures of the wheels installed.

I cant seem to find a 6.5" backspacing for a 15x8 inch wheels. They only seem to have a 6.5" backspacing for a 15x10" wheel, unless I have to special order them.
Does this mean I have to use 15x10" wheels for my FD?

No spacers are required.

I run a 26X11.5 Et Street
