Default New setup: Weld rts & Alumastar 2.0

I just thought id share my new wheel setup. I still need to order my tires, and that's where my question lies. I can only find one good tire that fits my front runners. Please lmk of any other options.


Rear: 15x10.25
Front: 17x4.5

As for the tires, im going to order 28"x10.5"x15" Hoosier slicks, and for fronts im getting Hoosier Pro Streets 26"x7.5"x17"

Ill post pictures of them mounted when the tires come in.

Heres my old setup.

M&H tires makes a nice street/strip front runner. I run them on my car but mine are 15x4 billet specialties. They do have a new 17 that should be what your looking for.

Are those factory brakes on the front? How much room between the caliper and the back of the spoke?

ill have to measure, but there is plenty of room. yes they are factory brakes. as for the rear, the calipers have been ground down from my previous set of wheels, but Im not sure if I would have had to grind them down on the new rears.

Default Hows the Weld wheels on street?

They look like RTS but I'm wanting to run 5 spoke Alumastar 2.0's on front and Alumastar 2.0 regulars wheels on my Prostreet S-10 this year. Had any issues with the RTS? Or anyone running my Combo on street?
