Finally a complete set....

I've had the front runners all season and finally scored a great deal on a rear pair to match. 15x8 Weld Pro Stars with 26x10.5x15" ET Drags... I will be saving about 24-30lbs with these wheels compared to the stock 17's and 26x11.5x17 ET Streets... nevermind the rotational mass savings as well..

Those ought to leave a good footprint!

Most likely will if I don't put enough air into the drag bags.. but my plan is to purchase some 5/16" Raise Drag springs, maybe some 10mm spacers and new performance shocks! That should stop most of the squat on the launch without hurting it.. I will also have drag bags in the new springs when the time comes! Winter mods.....

Thanks.. I just have to polish the rears and they will look even better! Maybe new center caps too... I can wait to see how they hook, too bad I have to wait until at least Feb. when Atco reopens full time....

With the 10" wheel I would have had to take an air hammer to my inner fender, roll or grind the outer fender lip, modify the shocks and put in 1.5" Raise Drag springs with spacers to get them to fit, due to sticking out way too far.

Plus the deal I got for these was insane! More than anything I just wanted them to match the front runners but the sidewall and slightly better traction will help!
