I know, I know, it has been asked before but I can't find the information ... what kind of spacers and lug nuts do I need to order for 15x10 Draglites (I think 5.5 BS)?

Thanks

7.5 BS, as for lugnuts, i'm in the same predicament. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

edit- isnt it 12mm x 1.5" lugnuts? or maybe 120mm x 1.5"

circle track/sprint car shops should be able to get you a open ended lug nut with a shank.

a place here in houston sells em. its called bush hog racing.

there like 13.00 bucks for a set of 5.
1/2 x 20...

use a 5/16th spacer with the 7.5 backspace

hey Steve, appreciate it, I measured the back spacing and the rims are 5.5" BS. I never asked if they were 7.5" when I bought them ... did I get ripped?

do i need a spacer with that BS?

Thanks for the offer.

i think they are gonna stick out kind of far with that backspacing. cause i know with the 15x8's you want a 5.5" BS. so with an added 2 inches on the rim, they might stick out.

Chris

edit-if you add spacers, you will just be pushing the rim out further. i think the only way to correct it is to have a shortened rear end.

with that much bs you need to get them in as far as posable. I wouldn't run a spacer because it would make them stick out farther. You will just have to grind the **** out of the brakes. Jason got his to fit(pro star but should be the same fitment as far as the clearance goes). His rims are a 15x8 with a 4.5 bs so add 1 inch to how his looks and that is how far they will poke out. Your car is lowered so you better be carefull on how the car squats..you may just sit on top of the tire and that would be a bad thing. If you remember how mine fit(15x8) just add 2 inches to it and that is where you will be at. Good luck. If it was me I would keep the tires, and put them on ebay for sale and get some wtih the right back spacing. But that is just me. Also you will need the 12mm x 1.5 wiht a 1.375(something liek that) shank. They are pretty long.

Java is gonna be rollin' on phat ghetto offset wheels! lol.

Yep, you need 7.5" backspacing on the 10" wide draglites to make them sit flush with the edge of the fender. 5.5" bs is for the 8" wide rims.

Lugs are 12mm x 1.5 long-shank. I also use 5/16" spacers all the way around.

well there goes December 8th ... I can't race with these. Like an idiot I never asked about back spacing and didn't check until a few days ago.
