15x5 racestar dragstar fit perfect. I posted awhile back and couldn't get no replies.So I bit the bullet and went ahead and bought some.So just for future reference the 15x5 fit perfect with no grinding when I get my tires mounted I will get some pics up.Backspace is 2.375. These are unilug so direct drill would be even better.

Hey thanks for being the guineapig on this. It's great to know that we're not stuck with 3.5"s up front and can run a little more stable tire up front for street duty. They look great. How fresh are your brake pads and how much gap is there from the caliper to the barrel? Also what size tires are you running on them?

Those look killer man. See you got rid of the old chrome camaro wheels lol
FWIW I run 50 PSI in my Kumho cheapo front runners so they don't look flat.

http://www.teambeefcakeracing.com/92-550344p.html just make sure you get the big centered washers.I did not like the washers they sent me they were small. So got my washers from http://www.mccormackracing.com/ get your back rims from here front rims from beefcake.Racestar told me they were 2.375 backspace.Racestar said they dont make a 2.5bs.On the beefcake racing website says 2.50bs.

how did you like the 165/80/15 tires in the front? Is it a good size for the 15x5 racestar wheel?
