Q's about drag wheels

Witch one I should mount on this?

I want drag strip slicks 10" wide, 15" rear wheels.
The problem is: I want to upgrade brakes. 8 pot 330mm rotors on front, 6 pot 330 mm rotors on rear.
I saw MT 15" drag wheel witch has -50 offset. I need more "minus", I think. Is it possible? Another way is to save stock 280mm 1 pot brakes...

Wanting drag wheels in a certain size and big brakes will never go together because it simply won't fit in the size you want.
Now you can get custom drag wheeles to fit on applications that have big brakes but they are very limited in the size of wheels available.
One such company would be CCW here in florida that make custom drag setups for cars like the Viper and 4th gen Supra etc.

Forget the big brakes with 15 inch wheels,stock brakes will be enough for drag racing....

check supraforums weld has made several sets 17" skinny's for up front.and id imagine 16" drag wheels with the right offset would clear virtually any brakes outback

With the 17inch welds in the front you still have to use a spacer or smaller caliper.
