New wheels, what do ya think?
Finally got my new wheels put on. So what do you think?
Rears are a 15x8, and the fronts are a 15x3.5. and yes before anyone asks, they are street tires. The "show" was a little more affordable and practical than the "go" was lol.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
It LOOKS go!:THUMBSUP: I like the wheels.
Hard to tell from the pics how much gap is in the wheel wells? I assume it's not too much?

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
Unfortunatly i dont remember the backspace, the wheels are summit fastfives, and on the rear i had to use a 7/32" spacer and the front i had to use a 1" hubcentric spacer, and had to grind like a half inch or so off the studs.
There is a thread somewhere on here with the links to the wheels at summit and all the stuff you need if your interested.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
I have the Jegs version of those in my garage. Are putting the lugs on a PITA? On mine it looks like the holes are too small because they use such a large center cap. They only socket that I can use is thin wall 3/8 deep well. I'm also using 3/4 hex lug nuts which are smaller than the standard 13/16 for 1/2-20 lug nut.

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
PITA as in Pain In The A$$.
I just sold my Fox so I'll probably ty these on the MACh and see how it goes. I personaly hated the larger center caps. I was going to see if I could get some machined up at the shop that would be flush of just above. Kind of like the Greg Weld wheels had. |

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
I know it's to late for you peabodyz06, but I'm posting this for anyone else that might look this up.
I took the spacer and bolted it to the wheel. Then I used it as a drill guide to dill clearance holes in the back for the stock studs. You only need to go maybe 1/2 deep. I just marked my drill bit with some tape so they all be the same depth. Took maybe 45 mins to do the two of them. I did this because I'm still running the stock wheel 99% of the time and didn't want to shorten the studs for them. Plus if I ever have to replace the hub I won't have to shorten studs again. |

Re: New wheels, what do ya think?
Looks badass! If you don't mind me asking, how much dough do you have invested with spacers, wheels and tires?
