Default Weld RT-S pics

Well I finally got my wheels and tires mounted and wanted to share some pics. I was really impressed with the quality of the wheels from Weld. I had some slight rubbing on the rear calipers (running LS1 calipers on the rear) but it wasn't much and just at the peak of the support ribs on the calipers. The funny thing is before I had the tires mounted they cleared, the pressure of the rubber on the aluminum rim must cause them to compress slightly.

Size is 15x10 and 15x4 from Jims racing wheels. Hosier QTP 10" x 27" on the rear and 4" x 26" on the front. It drives much better with bias plys on all 4 corners than I had expected.

Nice! What back spacing are 15x10's? Stock length rear axles? Nice looking car as well!

I think the rear back spacing is 7.5", what ever Weld recommends for the 4th gen. And yes it has the stock length axles. I would have loved to have them narrowed for a deeper dish but I didn't want to purchase another set of street wheels to match the new back space.
