Default My Weld RT-S pics (15's on red T/A)

Finally managed to get these finished up today. Still need to get the rear centered up better and raise the front up a bit. Anyway, thought someone would be interested in seeing the setup. The front has Afco DA shocks/275# springs and the rear is lowered w/ BMR springs. Here's the few pics i have at the moment.

Those look absolutely killer on your beautiful WS6. What backspace are the rears, and what size radial? Thanks.

Fronts are the 15x4 with M/T SR radials 26x6x15
Rears are 15x10 6.5 BS w/ M/T 325-50-15's.

I think the 6.5" BS looks the best, some of the other guys with the 3" narrowed rears just have almost too much dish, I think you nailed it, now only if they were black

Looks great man, those look killer on your car in the polished finish.

I can't help but chuckle at your post when I've seen you flame so many others in the past for running a 6.5" BS rear wheel on a stock width rearend.

Car looks really good with the wheels and has a perfect stance front and rear.

Rear is narrowed 1 inch.

I still got the springs sitting in the garage. Haven't posted them anywhere else. They will be here if you want them.

I can't help but laugh at you for assuming his car has a stock length rear end, when in reality he has a narrowed rear end

^^ LOL!

Looks great.. I'll be purchasing the ones with the black centers very soon.

I'll be running 5.5" backspacing.

Be sure to post pictures when you get them! IMO 5.5" backspace with the narrowed rear cars look perfect!

Hey Mike, couple of questions for you. Is your car lowered? I thought it looked lowered. Second, what mods did you have to do to the car to accept these rims/tires? I am running MT ET 275-40-17, and they still do not hook with my 408, so need to go bigger. Did you have to grind your calipers?? roll your fenders? Thanks! seems like some folks just bolt right up, then some have to modify. Since your rear is shortened an inch, just wondered if you had to roll the fenders. Looks awesome!

I did alittle work to the wheelwell, not much though. The car is lowered in the back with a BMR spring w/1.2 inch drop. These 325's are way too much tire for what the car has done to it. I might go back to 275-50-15's after i burn these up. I haven't rolled fenders or anything like that, but it would help with a tire this big.

My rear calipers were already ground down. A couple people needed to grind just a small amount to fit. They were designed to need no grinding and slip right on.
