15 " front rims For racing, I wanto use 15 inch rims with skinnies, Do they fit or do I have to trim the breaks to make them fit or what? There probably the exact same demensions of a Weld 15 X 4 Racing rim.

I was thinking about using the 15x4 TT2's so they would match my rear wheels. A little bit expensive, but I'd like to match without buying new rears. The backspacing is only 1.5 inches and alot of the others I've seen have 1.75. Anyone know if they'll still fit ok???

I've read several thread where people want to run them but Nobody has bought them and tried. As Camaro396 said the designs differ so nobody will know for sure until someone pulls the trigger and buys a pair.

So unless I'm thinking backwards, the TT2's have 1.5 inches of backspace leaving an additional .5 inch between the mounting plate and the spokes of the rim? The spokes on the TT2 also curve out pretty significantly giving additional clearance for the caliper. With my 17x9.5s it seems that I have 2 inches of space between the spokes and the mounting plate. With the 15x4's with 1.5 inches of bs I should have 2.5. The rim may stick out 1/2 inch farther, but I think that's acceptable. Am I thinking backwards???
