new wheels just arrived

project67 · Jan 22, 2010

my new wheels just arrived and they look great-the pictures at summit kind of suck but these look really good in person and the price was great.

anyone else run these?

dude- $80.00 each from summit. they are on clearance. greg weld prolite series drag wheels. not as good looking as a weld draglite but less than half the cost.

works good for me. got tires yet?

Tanus · Jan 23, 2010

what a deal, how much shipped? whats sizes did you get?

project67 · Jan 23, 2010

summit does not charge sales tax or shipping. just a "handling" fee of $12.95
the sizes are 15 x 5 for front and 15 x 10 w/6" bs for back

tires are front 185/60r15 and rears are 295/65r15

now just gotta make them fit..(looks around for giant sledge hammer and sawzall) j/k

anyway that IS cheap so i will definately post if i run into any issues with them.

295/65...

I can't see them fit, ever.

A 275/60/15 is a 28" tires, a 295/65 is larger than the tire that came on my F250!

beyondspexj · Jan 23, 2010

yea that is A LOT of tire to stuff under a fox's stock wheel wells lol. let us know how that goes!

project67 · Jan 23, 2010

thats what i thought then i saw an ad in the classifieds where a guy is selling them with pics on his notch. shows tire clearance, etc and i pm'd him, got the wheel size, etc. the title is "hoosier 295/65r15 slicks cheap!" so i hope they will, otherwise i will get some 275/60's but i couldnt pass up the deal, $100.00 for both, from craigslist. and they are like new.

nice, Im gonna check summit out, see if they have 15x5s and 15x8s. I like those rims, probably look alot better w/out the silly spinner centercap.

whats the bolt spacing (4 lug)?

says this->
"For 4x4.5 in. bolt pattern use centered lug nut washers; 4x4.25 in. bolt pattern use offset lug nut washers."
I dont know what the means though

project67 · Jan 24, 2010

its part number sum-7540143
basically a shank style lug nut which uses a washer with an offset hole.

these also feel really light, im not sure of the weight though. i was going to weigh them but i already mounted the tires.

Tanus · Jan 24, 2010

Ive never ran those off-set lugs, does it seem pretty sturdy? you know what I mean? I dont wanna spend a few hundred bucks on a ghetto setup.

project67 · Jan 24, 2010

all cragar style wheels with slotted lugs are the same concept and have been around forever. these use an offset washer instead of the cragar style which has a regular washer. the washers sit perfectly into a countersunk hole which makes for less movement than the cragar setup in my mind. so i think greg weld improved upon a time tested shank/washer design with these. i know they probably have a lower torque handliong capability than some other wheels but would be fine for "our" stuff

Tanus · Jan 24, 2010

cool, think Im gonna buy a set in like 2 weeks if they're still on clearance, thanks post posting this up

project67 · Jan 24, 2010

you bet

Lifted94XLT · Jan 24, 2010

I have them for my notch. They are not on the car right now as I'm still building the car.
I have 15x3.5s w/ 195/55x15 Nitto NT450s on the front and 15x8s w/ 275/60x15 MT Drag Radials on the Rear. I love how they look. I wish I had a better pictures of how they looked on the car when I test fitted them....
