Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 - Race Stars are on the goat

ordered some race stars a few weeks ago. finally got the tires mounted up and installed the wheels today. 15x3.5 front and 15x10 rear with hoosier tires all around.

WOW, that looks awesome.

1) where did you order them from
2)specs on the wheels
3) what did you have to do out back to get them to fit

those work well on your car.

I ordered the wheels from a local shop that just became a distibutor.

sizes are front- 15x3.5 with 1.5 backspace. 5x4.75 lug patern
rear- 15x10 with 7.25 backspace 5x4.75 lugs

front bolt right on with no problems

rears contact the brake hose bolt on the calipers. i just ground the head of the bolt down to about half the thickness it should be. also i had to use a rubber mallet to just slightly bend the metal part of the brake hose down closer to the caliper so the hose did not rub the wheel.

Space the shocks in or BFH the wheel wells?

i run drag bags so they keep the rear from squating and hitting the tires. atleast with the 275 40 17's. i havent launched the car yet to see what it does with these. but my shock is in factory location and fender lip has not been cut off or rolled. they stick out they same as the other tires and are the same heighth so i dont see there being a problem.

Awesome. I was going to go with another set of prostars, but i think ill be getting these.
I was more worried about it hitting on the inside more than the outside. Im not worried about mine squatting either

I have a set of these and love them, but they will be for sale soon.

Nice. What do the wheels normally go for?

Those look fantastic!

Did you have the fronts made to spec?
The only size I see on their site that is close is a 3.75 with 1.25 BS

hell im sorry man. it is 3.75 wide. not 3.5. you are looking at the correct one

Those look awesome!

I'll be getting these eventually.

These look WAY better on a goat than an F body for some reason.

looks great.

Siiiick.

looks sick

Looks Beast. love it.

Any chance you could take one directly from the side and directly down the rear/front of the car?

Nice man!!! Looks great

Glad to see a drag setup finally make its way onto the car!

Also curious about the lugs.
I hve ARP studs on all corners and didnt know if their closed end shank lugs would be long enough or if I should just get the open ended ones.
Thanks

^^ i got open ends for my rears with arps. turns out i didnt need them. could have went with the closed end lugs.


i got more pics today but photobucket is being gay. ill try to get them up soon.

So closed ends on all four corners. ARP's up front aswell?

No hurry. I'm holding off until next week to order so just get them up when you can. Thanks!

Awesome thanks.

I just wanted to see how far the fronts and rears stuck out from the fenders. My prostars had a far from perfect offset and the look sometimes bothered me.

I wish 15s would fit on the G8 :( They look Great

You could do a 17/15 setup.
I cant see the brakes in the rear being too big for a 15

^ yes I'm sure that would fit fine. The 17 was wider than what I wanted though. Also not to many front runner tires in 17.

awesome car!!

After seeing this thread, I got a set of 15x10-7.5" BS Race Stars for my wifes GTO.

The banjo bolt for the brake line to the caliper needs to be ground down at an angle, it hits hard enough that you will ruin the rim if you don't grind it down.

Also, the brake hose has a short steel section coming off the caliper that needs to be bent in and down to get the brake hose to clear the rim.

I will post a pick of my wifes gto with m/t 8.5x26-15 ET Drags sometime next week.

Side note, the washers that come from Race Star are cheap junk, and these rims are made in China :(

That looks very good.

I hope the 8.5 ET's tuck in that much, I test fit the bare rim and it looked like it stuck out further, but perhaps that was because the suspension was partially unloaded...

Twimturbo496 do you ever go to any of the car shows around town? Coffee and cars ect.?

Yes I believe I mentioned the mods required to make the wheels work on the first page. You also will need to check the inner fender in the rear. It's the black plastic thing in the rear fenders. I had to trim mine a little but my tires are wider than what you are going with.

Yep, your description was very accurate. Just trying to reinforce that some minor mods will be needed, not just bolt them on and go.

i got these same rims on mine except i did a 15x8 with a 5.5bs on the rear and my rears poke out kinda annoying also with the m/t sportsmans on the front they also poke out drives me nuts btw how do u like thoes hosiers??

Hoosiers have been better than any other drag radial i have ran. most consistant and best hooking

How much was this set up 402 goat? from wheels and rims? You think you might know any named brand companies who sell these rims too? The pro stars look great on GTOS in general
