Actually, if they offer the rims in 5" backspace, that's what you'll want to get. The sucky thing with the welds is that 5.5" is a little more backspace than you need, and 4.5" is not enough. Given only the choice between 4.5 and 5.5, you would want the 5.5" though.

on both the front and rear? also how wide can i go out back with a 15in rim

daviszx3 · Dec 17, 2007

the front 15 by 4 they offer 1.75in backspace and the rear 15 by 8 they offer 5.50in back space are these ok?

PUNISHER RACING · Dec 17, 2007

yep, run a 165r/15 in front, and a hog on the rear 26x10.5

so everything listed above is ok? i wont have any problems with 15/ 8 in the rear? also what is offset?

You'll be fine with the 15x8 5.5" backspace wheels, and the 15x4 front runners; 1.75" is the only backspace offered I believe. Bazillions of people run these wheels on mustangs without trouble.

daviszx3 · Dec 17, 2007

yea i kno, but they are the weld wheels that are 15/ 3.5 these are summit knock off version they are 15 /4 is that gonna matter?

PUNISHER RACING · Dec 17, 2007

it dont matter who makes em' as long as the width and b/s is the same and those fronts will be a 1/2 wider outside that won't matter at all

NKau · Dec 17, 2007

I have 15x4 centerlines I run at the track that have 1.75" of backspacing. They are a super tight fit/close to the fender lip, but that's due mostly in part to the sn95 spindles I run. You'll be fine.

ok thanks alot next question would u get the draglites or the pro star wheels? my cars a white notch if that helps?

PUNISHER RACING · Dec 17, 2007

daviszx3 · Dec 17, 2007

is that what u got if so can u post a pic

grey5.0beast · Dec 17, 2007

He answered your other questions, pro star IMO

PUNISHER RACING · Dec 17, 2007

No havvy the piccy sorry ....puter just got a tune up and need to put everything back on

not sure about summit rims but I was told (from someone that should know this) that the Jeg's rims that look just like the weld rims are actually a weld rim that were 2nds and weld wont sell something with a small defect so Jegs buys them and sells them cheaper than weld does.

PUNISHER RACING · Dec 17, 2007

the jegs and summit rims are the same rim you can also buy them at Super Walmarts that have Auto Service Centers

I believe they make the pro-star style in 4 lug, which Weld doesn't offer. A white notch would look much better with pro-stars imo. I think Draglites look better on hatches, pro-stars on coupes. Not sure why, just how I see it. You can't go wrong with either choice imo. Show us some pics when you get them!
I have a couple crappy pics.
Here's a white notch with pro-stars that we saw at the track.

Here's one with draglites.

And a really nice one with draglites.

daviszx3 · Dec 19, 2007

anyone no if 15 by 10 will fit on the rear if so what backspacing would i need? also no where to find the Y2K wheels in 4 lug? thanks
