Ok guys,
First off I dont think this belongs in tech as I am requesting only pics. If I am wrong please Daggs let me know.
I am going to purchase a set of Weld wheels and tiresand have used the search feature. It yielded little for me so now Im making a thread thats probably been discussed before ( only I couldnt find it:) )
I want to see your foxes rear, dont you dare let your mind slip into the gutter either...lol
I need pics of the rear and the widest tires without any rub issues.
We are putting draglites on the car, but if your pics are of prostars then they are sexy too...post em also.
Also tell the tire / wheel size and offset if you dont mind.

Thanks for any pics

Mike

What size are those rear wheels 15x?? and backspacing is ??

Thanks.

Front:

15x7 - Draglites (4.5" backspacing)
215-60-15" - B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's

Rear:

15x8 - Draglites (4.5" backspacing)
295-50-15" - B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's

In order to use these rims and tires in the back, you will need to buy an airbag kit for the rear. I use Air Lift's rear airbag kit ($70.00 at SUMMIT RACING). This will prevent rubbing on the outer quarter panel lip. The lips won't need to be rolled and the inner quarter panel won't need to be beat inward either.

These rims and tires stick outward about 1/2" of the rear quarter panel lip but I have 3/4" of space on the inside. It's not ideal but it's not gaudy looking either. If you buy a 5" backspaced rim (not available from Weld), that will tuck the tire inward another half inch and you'll have a 1/4" of space left. There is a company that produces Weld Draglite knockoffs. That company is called PACER and they do make the rims in 5" backspacing.
