What size rear wheels??

gray87GT · 01-17-2001, 12:44 AM

I am thinking about getting a pair of weld wheels. I would want to get 15 X 10's, but am wondering about the offset. Does anybody know what offset to get, and what size tires. I suppose I will go with some BF Drag radials. thanks

I would get 15x8, or 8.5. This is plenty wide. 10 inches is a little much for a street wheel.

you want a 5" offset with the welds.

I agree 10" wheels are a bit much for the street. I would also go with 15x8 for the steet as well. I have a set of 15x7's on the rear of my driver and it does well on the street and on the track. I run 8.5 wide Goodrichs. It looks wide enough for me. I run 15x10's on my drag car, 26x10 M/T's. Definitely wide enough there too.
