Tires are 15x4.5x26

 

Which front tires did you get? I got caught out in the rain on tuesday with my ET Front Drags and Et Streets..........

Nice fun drive down the HWY.

 

ET streets

 

I meant the rim size..but i was curious about the tire too.

FC spare wheels work great!

What is the correct rim backspacing for an FD running a Weld Pro Star 15 x 8? ErnieT posted 7 1/4" backspacing, and Dan Schechter posted 5 1/2" backspacing. So which one is it??? I'm looking into ordering them this week but don't know which backspace to order.

Sorry for the delay.
I run 5.5" bs, but you have to add a 1/2" spacer to clear the caliper and toe link bolt. I don't know about a 7 1/4" bs, but it seems to work for Ernie. I don't think it would work for my setup. I would think the wheels would hit the trailing links, and not fitting, but I could be wrong. Personally, I haven't tried it. If you have any questions, let me know.

 

Now when you use the 1/2" spacer, do you still have to grind the toe link bolt?

Thanks,
Silvio

 

I just ordered my Pro Stars from Welds but they are on back order. I was told that they were being bought off by another company but will continue producing the wheels, so be patient guys.

 

Yeah, Unfortunately.

Sorry for the delay in response, I never got an email notification of your post.

 

Weld wheels went bankrupt, and is being taken over by American Racing.

 

Hey guys,another option would be Holeshot wheels,they are custom made to any backspacing and have 5 different styles,they are 3 piece design and I personally use them on my street car and my race car.They cost more than the regular Welds but are lighter and can be upgraded very easily.Here is a pic of a couple of them sorry about the big pics:

Man those are some nice wheels but I dont know what it is about the WELD's that just look bitching. It doesn't matter what kind of car it is.
By the way how much do these wheels cost?

 

Thanks for the input! These look like a great alternative source, expecially while Weld/American Racing does their thing to swap companies.

 

Good Info!

 

I can't believe these rims grew on me. I mean, I want to rock them on daily street riding , not just for the track. Yo anthony Tom's 20B IS CRAZY!!!!!!!! He lives by me and all I hear is what sounds like godzilla on crack roaming the streets! HA HA

 

Bump...

 

ErnieT or Danny, think I can use a 15in front skinnie with a big back spacing to clear my Big Brake Caliper? I really don't want to take off my brakes just to run skinnies...

 

good info. I will be ordering my front wheels soon.

 

yeah, sticky this.

 

Pro star 15x8 5.5bs, no spacer, had to grind down the calipers pretty much though.
