you should be running 5.5" bs.. the 4.5 sticks out too far and looks funny.

I have 4.5" bs 15x8" welds for my cobra. They just BARELY line up with the rear quarters

are the 5.5 bs what you are running (addermk2)


No, I am running 4.5" bs

canary95 -> RE: weld racing draglites (5/8/2008 8:15:52 PM)

they dont seem to stick out that far to me. is there any clearance or rubbing problems

AdderMk2 -> RE: weld racing draglites (5/8/2008 8:22:38 PM)

only when you have a fatass in the back seat. My car is lowered on Eibach Sportlines. If you had a drag spring, or were at stock ride height, you wouldnt have any problems.


although, even if they did rub a little, just toss adjustable rear control arms on, and crank them up a tad.

would the 5.5 bs not be to close to the inner fenders, horizal shocks or the fuel tank

i'm going to hijack this post for a sec. with backspacing on a stock fox suspension what's a good size to go?
Does the bigger the bs the further out it sticks or the further in?

canary95 -> RE: weld racing draglites (5/9/2008 8:22:18 AM)

bigger the number the further in they go

I run 5.5 BS on 15x8 on a FOX with 255/60/15's
