ok guys had a question. i was on summit and saw they have summit wheels that look just like pro stars and draglites. well the back spacing they have for them is 4.5 i wondering if you could still run them on our cars? i cant remeber what the properly backspacing was for 15/8 wheels i think its 5 or 5.5 but i was just wanted to know if anyone has got away with running a 4.5 backspacing on our cars

01GT4.6 over at mod depot has. Here is a pick of his car with a 15x8 with a 4.5" backspacing!


I just bought some cheap steel rims for slicks new from summit 2 for 84 after shipping they are 15x8 with a 4.75" backspacing. They are a little on the heavy side though.

What about wheel size and backspacing for cobra 11.65" brakes in the rear?? And what about for skinny fronts with 13" cobra brakes?

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
