i got a pretty good deal on some draglites
i went to a indoor swap meet today with the wife and some friends, and to my surprise i found 2 like new 15x10 weld draglites with 7.5 bs. i was just talking about doing the whole big & little combo yesterday and was looking here for what size and bs wheels i needed. i thought it was pretty ironic though. the guy was aking $300 for them i got them for $250. so now i need to get the littles and some tires. what size tire do most people with these wheels run (street tires)? if anyone could post pics of draglites of their car(preferably camaro) please do so.

Is that the best backspacing for fitment for our cars. I don't know much about technical specs for rims. Will these stick out beyond the fenderwell a whole lot?? Also how much grinding on the calipers do you think will be needed to make them fit?

For the front, you want 15x3.5 with 1.75" bs. For the rears, 7.5" is the best for a Camaro without them sticking out. You're going to spend a few hours grinding the calipers. You can get away with a 5/16" spacer on the front to keep from grinding, but you really need longer studs. The rears require alot of grinding whether you use spacers or not. Here are a few pics of the rears I found:
Mine required a good bit more grinding than these for the Prostars to fit.

i am going to get the long studs and open end lugs for the car now that i decided to do the big and littles. i'll grind on the front calipers also just because i used a space once and had it crack on me. i am still looking into what size tires to run. i thought i read somewhere somebody stuffed a 295/50/15 on a f-body. i think that would look good just not sure if it will fit. i've also been looking at 275/50/15 also. any suggestions?
