Aftermarket wheels Are there any aftermarket wheels availiable for the rear of a 01 SS to mount drag radials on?
Nobody at Jeg's or Summit seems to know about the rear spacing.
OEM wheels or take offs seem way too expensive, also I would like to have 15" not 16 or 17".
I'am looking for something like Weld Draglite's or Prostar's.

Re: Aftermarket wheels Well if you want to run 15" rims you'll have to grind your calipers down a little and use 5/16" spacers or grind them alot more and there is no need for the spacers. Now either the Draglites or Prostars you need to order the 15x8 w/the 5.5"BS or the 15x10 w/ the 7.5"BS. Then you should install longer wheel studs to be on the safe side

Centerlines (Warriors or ConvoPros) will not require any gridning.

Re: Aftermarket wheels Look around every now and again some one is selling thier set of factory wheels because they upgraded. I have my factory set now with a set of ET Streets on them. They go cheap and alot of times they go with tries already on them.
