15x9 is a bit small for your car for typical tires used. You won't see a sticky since the wheel can be built in a variety of ways and STILL have the same backspace.

With our wheels, backspacing is not the only way for considering how to build the wheels.

I get this question quite often...once again, I can build a wheel in a variety of ways and STILL come up with the same backspace...with these variations, a difference of fitting correctly or NOT fitting becomes an issue. i.e. I can build a few wheels and build it with a 5" backspace...only ONE will fit correctly so that it meets the demands of the cars brake/caliper requirements.

Remember, these wheels are custom made and custom built PER application, this is why you won't see a part number...pricing even changes with how we build the wheels.

I've also recently had inquiries regarding the Fly series wheels...these should NOT be used on the typical F-bodies. I'm not certain who may be suggesting these...if the vendor didn't know the application then that's another story. Non of our authorized vendors should be recommending them to any of you. If you've spoke to myself, Rich Bogart or any other Bogart staff or our authorized vendors, they would not (should not) be telling you any different.

Rest assured, if your purchasing the wheels through us or one of our authorized vendors, the wheels will be built correctly. We also back warranty and customer support 100%.
