Thread: drag wheels

So i messed up and bought 13in brakes and wanted to run a 15 drag radial. lol is there a way to run a really small backspacing so i can run the 15in wheel with the 13in brakes? has anyone done this?

doubt it, caliper will hit rim.

It's not possible. Your best bet would be to change back to stock brakes if you want to run the wheels. Otherwise..you are on at least 16" rims and that usually means drag radials instead of full on slicks.

so i guess my next question is whats a good offset or back spacing for a 275/50/r17, if i can even get that to fit lol, remember its track only sticking out wont be a big deal

no clue...

i found a better set up 245/45/17, but i can not find a cheapo rim like the 15 in aero i was looking at, best i can fin is a 17x8 with a 0mm offset and 4in back spaceing.

will this set up rub like no other? rub when i turn to come back to the lanes? this car is not lowered at all

i was going to run 15s, but hten i bought 13in brakes over black friday, then i faced palmed, and started searching, I can find wheel that will fit, but i was trying to go cheap and light, almost a 17X8 steelie lol

0mm offset is going to not fit AT ALL. it will go on the car but your tires are going to eat your fenders.

yeah i figured as much, i just cant seem to find a 17X8 with a descent offset for cheap (less than 100 bucks), and coming in at a light weight

Simple solution...sell the brakes and run f bodies

This.

I have F-body brakes and run a set of 16" cross-laces with M/T 26x10.5-16 ET Streets.
