So I am looking to add some skinny's for the track. Was going to do the spare wheel (painted black of course!) but do not like the idea of running motorcycle tires. So I just want to buy a set of welds. Anyone have any used ones laying around? If not I will buy new, what size do you suggest?

 

i have on my car(FC)15X3.5 with a 1 3/4 backspacing,Weld now offer 2 different offset on the DRAGLITES and PROSTART 15x3.5 with +15 or -15 offset.i know this cause i just got the new american racing aplication guide(weld is now owned by american racing)and they are listed with the 2 different offset options,search ebay that is from were i got my set of 4 and i only payed 350.00 for all 4(2 15x3.5 and 2 15x9)

 

Does Weld make skinnies in 4x110?

 

Thanks for the info..

What about tire size in the fronts? This will be on a FD if that makes much differance. Only puting these on for track events.

 

if you are just using the front welds at the track buy some MT front runners,if you are using them on the street you need to get someting with a DOT number like a 155/80/15 this is like a 26 inch tall tire by like 4 inches wide

 

4x100,is that for a first gen?Let me look in my aplication guide and i let you know the part number if they make them

 

25x4.5 tires. Jegs has a look alike of the prostar prety cheap.

I believe you want to stay with 1 3/4 back space. And im running 15mm spacer with arp100-7713 studs 3.25 long with open lugnuts studs are 90 knurl.
Spacer is 5x4.5 pattern and i think about 5/8 thick or 15mm.

You will have to grind the outward side of caliper were the mazda emblem is but not to deep or youll be looking for another caliper!

To remove the front stock studs use a deep socket and a hammer and just knock them out. Then press in the new ones useing the same deep socket if its deep enough!

The rears are a different story!

 

i run with the single caliper setup so i have no trouble with the calipers,i used a spacer(quarter inch thick) and the longer studs,the wheels look perfectly flush with the fender

 

great info guys..

Does this look like it would work?

 

sucks when I have 2 spares I could put ires on. I just feel that is so redneck! But then again I am in Alabama!

 

try e-bay,i picked up my front set for 165.00

 

no luck on ebay.. So does the above look correct?

Yes. grind very carefuly and a little at a time! And you need 15 mm spacer!

 

Thanks, busted. Have one guy I am waiting to here from about his front set up otherwise going to order these.

 

what about 24 inch high? That too low? 26 seems tall up front?

 

No: 25x4.5x15 tire.

 

I only see 24 and 25 tall in et streets. ?? In fact I didnt see any 25's listed on jegs?

 

This is the exact same tire I ran on mine, and this is who I bought mine from.

Thanks Viking... I will check these out!

 

Yea 25 or 26 work ok!

 

What size are the ones on here? They look shorter than 26. Maybe its just me?

 

26 is a pretty tall tire,i like 24 or 26

 

whats the widest i could fit in the rear of my fd? can i fit 15x10 with a 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 back spacing. any info would be great. thanks. right now i have mt et streets on stock wheels 26x11.5 and they dont rub and i had volks 18x10 and they didn't rub either. i have rolled fenders. can these welds fit? thanks
