Weld Pro-Stars Sizing, Backspacing etc...
I'm looking into buying a set of Weld Pro Stars very soon. I need a few questions answered first though (I did a search on summit and it came back with 7 pages worth of parts... )
What backspacing do our cars run w/these wheels?
What bolt pattern do i need?
Do the 15" XPs require us to grind our calipers? How about the 16" XPs
Also for the fronts should I go 15x3 or 15x4 ?
If anyone has the part numbers that'd be great too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
TIA

Cammin Beast/Beasst was the only user I saw running 15" XP's out back. He said they still required some caliper grinding. now my 16x8 and 16x9 Draglite rears both fit in back and did not need grinding...

This was in ~2000, I had:
16x8 Draglite XP (5.5), 245 Nitto DR's
16x9 Draglite XP (6.5), 26x11.5x16 ET Streets
Nittos were too narrow to run on the 16x9's. But the 16x9's were perfect to run the wider 11.5 ET Streets, and I cut mid 1.5's on them all day long.

with the pro star rears you need
15X10 7.5 backspacing
15x8 5.5 backspacing
I have 3 sets of rears, 2 15x10's and 1 15x8 to interchange from street tires/et streets/et drags. I gound more for the 15x10's and the others fit on perfect, no spacers! just lots of grinding. pic on my site <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
