Default SLAMMED on drag wheels

what's up guys, I just got these off a member here yesterday, and slapped them on last night. here's some info:

15x4 fronts with 165's
15x8 (5.5 BS) with 265/50/15 street radials

as soon as i wear these out i'm going to a 275/50/15 drag radial. and yes my car is SLAMMED, i have had intrax springs in it for a few years now, but after putting these on I might go back to stock or get some not-so-low lowering springs.


btw, i used a 5/16" spacer up front, and mounted them direct in the rear, with some caliper grinding

damn man, how do you not chew up those tires? even rolled i bet those things take a beating

only thing is, my car is a mild cam/bolt on car, with stock gearing. i figure a 26" tire will be just fine

yes i definitely need one of those, it looks pretty funny looking directly at the back of the car.

i haven't gotten to beat on the car yet for that reason, i am going to roll the fenders this weekend and then really get on it and see what happens lol.
