15" Wheels & Baer Rear Disk - Fitment?
 
Jack,
Looking ahead to spring...what 15" wheel (9.0 to 9.5" wide) will clear the Baer rear caliper? Which M/T slick and/or drag radial would you recommend for the above wheel? Probably need a street tire and a drag strip tire.

we check on the brake for ya... we'll have to talk about the wheels... and what you have for clearance.. wheel wells rolled.. frame notched... andthing at all..

Jack,
no frame notch, no rolled lip, stock ride height, QA1 shocks, might trim the wheel well molding a bit.

I'd say somewhere between a 4 and 4.5" backspace for the rim..... gotta think about the tires...

What brand of wheel would you recommend?

Daaamn, there are so many of them out there, I like welds, I don't like the MT's, too heavy. There really are lots to choose from, poke around the net, see what you like... I'm sure some of the guys can share their likes and dislikes.. maybe we should start this thread in one of the more open forums....
