welds

some guy is selling a set of weld rims....

front.. 15x3 only has one tire and its new 165r15

rear...15x8 with 2 bfg drag radials 275 50 15

he wants 200 what you guys think??

What's the back spacing on the 8's? Looks like 4.5" from the pics, which is incorrect for a Fox Mustang, you need 5.5" to fit properly. Super cheap price though.

the backspacing is 4 in he siad.... he said theyd stick out

were they on craigs list? i think i saw that listing...doesnt look like a bad deal

4" ='s no good.

yes on craigslist. and alright so its a no go lol

picking up a set tomorrow. im giving him my ponys and 200







They look in great condition... the fronts are 15x6 and the rears are 15x10.. and with 5.5 bs--they are on his 87 which he his selling

15x10 w/ a 5.5 b/s is going to rub your fenderwell

the guy said he has his car lowered (mine is too) and they dont touch.

OK, let me know how it works out for ya.

yeah, he will be putting them on for me at his shop, so we will see... and i know for sure that my quad shocks will have to be removed

uhhhh...15x10 with 5.5 BS is gonna look like poop. You either need 15x8 with 5.5" of BS or 15x10 with 6.5" of BS.

But....i seriously doubt that back wheel in the pic is a 15x10 at all. By the way that 255/65 fits, it's a 15x8 or 15 x 7 with 5.5" of BS. There is no way a 255/65 will have that much sidewall buldge on a 15x10. Sorry, but I'd measure them before I bought them. Not to mention if you are going to go with a skinny up front, WTF is the point of going with a 6" wheel?

Oh, and how the hell do you fit a 165r15 on a 6" wheel!? I think someone is a bit off with their sizes.

wow. 165....My mazda with 13" wheels came with those back in 82........Speed rating of T. Well idk if youd ever go that fast 118 BTW. I got V rating on my car right now. It wont go that fast stock. But hey they do look sweet. But for DD, Hmm. Thats just my .02

Nothing wrong with a 165r15, for daily driving or track use.

I agree with BCP, the stated width is off

Listen to these weld wheels experts ryan dont get ripped off!!!! i have 15x8 with 5.5 BS weld pro stars (courtesy of Bernie) on 275 mickey thompson ET streets fits flush. up front i have 15x3.5 with 1.75 BS 165R15 nankook tires

so i went to go look at them... bcp was right.. the rim itself was about an 8 not a ten-- the tire stuck out to about 10.5 inches brought my tape measure!... and the front rims themselves were about 4.5 inches thick but the tires stuck out to about 6 inches...

i ended up not getting them because the front tires were very bald and my tires right now have excellent tred on them

so if any of you know someone with welds... tell em im interested!

iMO KEEP WHAT YOU have and mount some drag radials on them and do some gears and you'll be cheaper in the end and will hook up at the track

yeah.. figure ima do what i orignally wanted to do... intake and gears.. and look for new rims/tires when i start skiddin a lot and tire tread wears

see if this link works.....i would definitely not give them the $600 they are asking but it looks like they may be nice

if wheels were on the top of my list for mods, i would prolly go make them an offer myself but, i have other stuff in mind before wheels and really want prostars when i actually do get wheels....

yeah i just got a full intake so imma wait for wheels til next year or so

oh cool.....what kinda intake did u go with? did u get a good deal?

yeah u have the pony rims which imo are great wheels to keep on for a while as you do other mods.... unfortunately, I have the turbines so they need to be replaced as soon as i can....i think they take away from a foxes look in an awful way..
