Re: Weld Wheels

[bwallace]

Trying to decide on which size pro stars to go with 15x8 or 15x10 I will be running 26x10.5 et streets intially but want to go with 28x11.5's this summer. Need pics or advice will be running 15x6's up front.

an ET Street in 26x10.5 is only 26x8.5 measured. an 26x12.50 is 10" wide ( or the closest you can get, 10.4 maybe ) ET Street and ET Drag sizes are not the same. if you already knew this then im sorry for wasting your time

look at the pictures of my car in my sig, i have 15x6 in front, 15x10 in back

i DO NOT recommend, using 15x6 on the street, look though that photo ablum and you will see pictures of a broken rim. i have broken two rims like that and i have a third one that is showing 'stress' fractures, or its starting to crack....

i can send pics later of mine just put on the weld xp on my gn looks awesome 15x10 4.5 bs on rear can run 28x12.5 et street no rub a 28x11.5 would be ideal though 15x6 on front, my pics have a 275/60/15 know which is what i run i mt drag radial.

Vendor Defendor: Would you recommend a 15x7 prostar or do you think Prostars in general don't hold up on the street? And what size tire are you running on the 15x6, I like the fit you have up front.

Van460: Yes I would like to see pictures, I might go with a 275/60/15 Drag Radial also.

My friend, he is on here, his name is blackshoebox, he had the 15x7's on this car, and he had no problems. i am running 215/65/15's.
