drag wheels Hi, Im looking to purchase a set of drag wheels, Or information on what size I can fit on my formula... I am looking for 15 by 10... I have bmr panhard rod and trailing arms with relocation brackets all adjustable chro-moly, and I still need some wheels and tires to hook up.. I tried searching but, I couldnt get an exact answer.. If anyone has any for sale, or even assist me with "backspacing" It would be appreciated.. I am a mechanic (ha ha ) and I dont know anything but tire sizes and balancing when it comes to this kind of stuff....... Thank you!
Fronts you will need 15x3.5 usually with a 1.75" backspace, rears would will need 15x10 with 7.5" backspace. I would contact Steve at SJM. Their Bogart line are the only wheels that currently can be built to bolt to the front, and rear of the car, without calipar modification.
Or, if you want wheels that you can drive on the street safely, you can get the Billet Specialties Street Lite's on those sizes and lightly file (file, not grind) on your front calipers. The rears fit with no modification necessary, and these wheels are street-safe (though probably not your #1 choice for daily driver duty).
I would google both and see which ones you like best, they are both QUALITY wheels, but the Bogarts have failed under road-driven conditions one more than one occasion.

Very true, I didn't mean to come across as knocking the Bogarts, as they are an awesome wheel, I have just heard several stories and had a friend break a pair under pretty tame driving, albeit, street driving conditions.
Like I said, the Bogarts and the Billets, along with the Weld and Greg Welds, all have their merits and shortcomings, you just have to make up your mind on what suits you best.
