Well, my Billet Specialties Street Lite drag wheels finally arrived!!! They look incredible! For right now I will be putting them on my 88 GT for a photoshoot but they will be going on the 85 Notch after that. I miss having the "bigs and littles" on my 85 Coupe and since I took the bullitts of it to go on the 88, and the 85 notch is going the direction of straightline performance.
I also have a pair of Nitto 555R Drag Radials 275/50/15s that will be mounted on the 15x8s for out back and I should have my skinny tires by the weekend and on the car. I can't wait.
Front - 15x3.5 with a 1.75" B.S.
Rear - 15x8 with a 5.5" B.S.
I went with these sizes because I know they just fit inside the fender wells with no clearance issues. I've run this exact wheel size/B.S. and tire sizes in the past on My 1985 Notch with Welds and they looked good and fit nicely. I don't like wheels sticking out in the back with the "jeep-look" (personal preference) also because most of my stuff is usually low and stock ride height. I admit I'm a freak about getting "the look" right on my rides and to me half the look of your car is wheel/tire combo and the ride height just right whether level or a slight rake.
I will post more pics and info on these once they are mounted on the car. Until then, check 'em out!
