could you run a 15X8 in the front with a 5.5bs if you didnt want skinnys up front and just run a normal tire?

Maybe I missed it, but these will clear the front brakes without a spacer? I saw several times where they cleared the rears.

15x8s I want as little rotating weight as possible and 28x11.5 QTPs fit just fine with NO mods except rolling the fenders for the tire height.

its a shame the new rear 15x10's stick out so far. he could have designed them to be in a bit more. at least the same as an original prostar or draglite.

I'm fairly certain the 15x10 uses the same 7.5" backspace the prostar/draglite wheels do, but I could be wrong, I don't really follow the Racestar wheels. The rears just havn't grown on me yet, IMO they look goofy.

u be wrong. they stick out about 1/4" more. try them on a lowered vehicle that both prostars and draglites used to fit. the tires will not clear the quarter lip. 275-50-15 mt.

They are the same BS, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they fit EXACTLY the same. We'll find out, I'm getting some soon.

its pretty simple. I have both rims. racestars and pro stars. the race stars sit out at least 1/4" more. call it what ever bs you want. it doesnt fit the same. theres no measurement on it that is 7 1/2. the actual bs is 7 3/16. i always thought they looked like they stuck out a little when i looked at all the pics. when i received them i found out I was right. most people wont notice this. i notice detail. thats why people always wonder why my cars look the same as everyone elses...but theres that "something" that looks better.

dude your car is a high rider in the rear. how is it lowered? lower than what? a monster truck?

this rim probably helps you out when using the 325 dr. not as much work to clear the inside.

im only posting the facts. they sit out further. if you dont mind the ghetto look then they will suit you fine. i like my **** to sit right. its unacceptable to me. I didnt pull my car out of the garage looking like that. reminds me of a joe dirt car. no offense to anyone that likes them.
