For those with 15x4 weld RTS wheels!!! Well, I finally got my fronts on which are 15x4 RTS wheels with med pads and 1.5 backspacing on 26x6 micky thompson sportsman radials. They are sticking out past my fenders now which sucks. The car is stock height right now, so it looks jacked up also. I do plan on lowering as soon as my MWC goes in with a 28 in the back. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

I would like to just keep the wheels I have now, so I won't have to buy new ones. Is there a skinnier tire that would look right or some suspension parts that would pull it inside the fender well. I really have no idea what to do and any help would be appreciated

1.5" backspacing is not enough IMO. No matter what tire you put on it it's going to stick out. Weld does offer the RT-S with more backspace but in a "low pad" which would probably require drag brakes to make it fit.

I've talked to MWC about doing some custom A arms to narrow the track of the front by 1/2-3/4 per side to help get mine to 'tucck' better in the front too. I have a T/A and even still they are out too far for my liking. It'd the price you pay to have real brakes up front and a drag wheel..
