Big tires. 295/55's

[toomanymodz]

I've gotten a few inquiries about the big tires on my car. They are Mickey Thompson 295/55-15's mounted on Weld Star R/T wheels. The wheels are 15x9 with 4 1/2 back spacing. No rear spacers were needed, but I did have to slightly trim the passenger side fender lip since the rear isn't perfectly centered.

The front's are 15x5's. I found that the Weld dust caps didn't fit, plus I didn't like how far under the car the front wheels were, so I solved it with these spacer/adapters:

Now the front wheels look great, as they are now consistent with the rear wheels.

JR...your car has the best look I've seen so far. It's been my desktop for a long time now. I hope my 10's and 295's look that good when finished.

If you mean center caps, I had the same problem. Weld offers a center cap that is about an inch longer that works.

 

[Nelson Ramos]

Yes ment center caps. If by any chance you happen to have the item number that will be helpful. Or maybe you could give me a number where you got them. Thanks for your help

You need part # 605-5083B
The msrp is about $14 each. I got my mine through McCormack racing. Weld themselves won't sell you anything, but they should be able to tell you where to get some if you don't wanna use mccormack.

I should mention that part # is for a black center cap. I know they offer a polished one as well.

This looks sick are there any others with photos of this set up? Currently running QT pro's 28X11.5X15 on 10" Pro Star's Think of a rim and tire change though this one is getting a little old lol.
