Welds?
Welds? whats up guys, whats the rim size u guys have on ur rims??? Like what backspacing etc. I was looking into getting some weld draglights for the track, but don;t know what size to look for. THanks, David.
This is some text I saved as a guide when I am ready to by my Rims. This post was from Nineball.
Weld Draglites or Prostars are your best bet.
Tons of us run 15s on the front and rear. You will have to grind the front face of the rear calipers to make them fit. Takes about 15 minutes per side with a disk grinder. Also need 5/16" spacers behind each wheel.
15x3.5" fronts with 1.75" backspacing
15x10" rears with 7.5" backspacing
Fronts are $105-120 each
Rears are $169-180 each
Not sure if any of our sponsors carry these, but most of us get them from Jegs or Summit Racing.
your lug pattern is 5 lug x 4.75" bolt-circle

i would advise getting longer studs if you run a spacer, too. (wheels tend to fall off with spacers and stock lugs). or do what i did grind the HEEL out of your calipers and run with no spacers all around.

Is 7" Ideal? BTW I know the regular Welds don't come in that backspacing,
But, just to know, what is ideal?
