Sick. Looking forward to the new Weld offerings. I cant do the 4x4 looking massive sidewall of the 15s in the front. No offense. Dont want to carve up my PBR calipers to get them to fit either. Cant do a 17'' front and 15'' rear either. My OCD wont let me ruin my cars smooth flowing and perfect look.

15x3.5 1.75BS 26x7.50 Mickey Thompson Sportman Fronts
15x10 7.50BS 26x10.0 Mickey Thompson ET Drags
Up front, you can just bolt these one and rock out. In the rear, you'll have a little bit of work but nothing major. First off, you will need drag bags. You have to bend your brake lines at the caliper slightly.. We used a ratchet strap to put constant pressure on the lines, and bend them slowly in the direction we needed. This will keep you front kinking or breaking a line. You will also need to grind the welds on the lower control arm slightly. There is plenty of matieral there, so I took quite a bit down just for peace of mind. The dust cover on the shock will rub slightly on turns and whatnot. Mine dont see but a quarter mile of action at a time, so I didnt mess with this any. You can remove the dust cover, or spaces the shocks inward if you wish. You will also need to install ARP extended wheel studs. Should take about an hour from start to finish to do all of that stuff.

here's a better shot of the wheels...
i plan either to anodize entire rear wheels gold or polish the outside diameter of those fronts to sorta match the rear wheels some more...

I finaly got a chance to test fit my new Weld RTS wheel and QTP Tires
Wheels are 15x8 with a 6.5 BS Tires are Hossiers QTP 27x11.5x15
They should tuck nicely
I had to clearance the inter fender wheel and grind the Lower contral arm about a 1/16
255 vs. 295
255-60-15 you can see how pulled under the car they are
295-50-15
0 air in bags Total tucking a 12" tire
