15X10 needs 7.5" on a stock rearend to center the wheel. With 1" narrowed on the rear you can use a 6.5" backspace.

You guys should wait until we have confirmation that the wheels fit without brake modifications, because the Billet Specialty wheels ended up not fitting.

Thanks Ryan.
Yeah John you may be right.
Ryan let us know if you can get the 15" rims test fitted on a 1998-2002 F-body and let us know which widths and backspacings fit.

I don't know about Mr. Rich; but yes he should be able to sell a few hundred sets in this market alone.

a few points that I would like to make:
*Wheels should be available January 1st 2008
*Taylor Weld does Not work for Greg Weld
*Greg Weld Wheels are newly designed, as some of the wheels in the automotive industry resemble other brands, no other wheels on the market uses the proprietary alloy and process that Greg Weld Wheel does to manufacture these wheels. This is how they achieve the maximum weight savings and strength.
*Greg Weld Wheels are NHRA and IHRA legal
*AR dealers will not necessarily have access to these wheels, Greg Weld Wheel is not affiliated with AR. They do Not have a joint marketing plan of any kind. To sell GW Wheels, a dealer would have to go directly through GW Wheels.

I have been around these guys for years and am a former Weld Racing employee, I can help you with any questions that you may have.

Thanks,
Ryan Pobanz

Anymore info you can give me on this car

You can take it to PM if you would like

Since you are in California find out where Greg Weld is and drive your car over to them so they can test fit the wheels!!!!!
Oh, if you can't wait, get the Bogarts if you have the cash. But these Greg Weld wheels will save you a ton of cash.
