I want a set of 15 inch weld wheels on the rear of my FD. I'm getting the pettit rear fender flares, and was wondering how wide i should go, what bolt pattern i need, along with what spacer i need.. and any tips or pics on trimming the caliper?

P.S i want them wide

 

The bolt pattern is 5x4.5".

Are there rules for the class you intend to race in that govern wheel and tire choices?

actually, i was planning on running them on the street.

 

What kind of tire are you wanting to go with? ET Street or a radial tire?

 

a drag radial.

 

Well, there is no reason to get a wide wheel when you can only get a 275 series tire and keep a 26 inch tall tire. If you go any taller, it will look stupid.

BFG's are the same.

 

i need wider. b/c im getting rear flares, i need to fill up the space in my wheel well. i dont think a 275 will be enough. what do u think?

 

It won't be enough......... You'll need to either get a regular performance tire under there or use a 275 drag radial with the right offset wheels.

 

so another question, where would i get the proper wheel spacer needed for these wheels
