FC: My new drag wheel set up.
Figured since I don't post much in this section...I'd start.

I went cheap, these are the Summit Racing Fast Five series

15X4 with a 175/65-15 tire. The front wheels fit after I shaved down the caliper.

17x8 with 26x11.5 MT ET streets

Sorry for the bad angles the car was still on the lift.

You didnt have to use spacers to get the front wheels to clear the caliper? Do you have a shot of the shaving you did on the front caliper to get them to fit?

Nope, no spacers. All I did was shave down that casting bump or whatever that is right next to the mazda logo. The backspacing on these are different than the welds.

hope you didnt shave it down too much, its a transfer port for brake fluid , i started to do it then it poped and jizzed fluid in me eye , i just ran 3mm spacers sorted

nice seeing 17inch rims, i didnt even notice till someone mentioned it , will be good to see how you go

Did the same thing a couple weeks ago. You can take the Mazda off, but can't go too deep into the actual hump.

yeh the amount you can safely shave off the hump isnt worth it, small spacers for the win

That's not the first time that something popped and jizzed in your eye is it?

Man, you left the door wide open on that one, sorry, had to do it.
