Competition Wheels for slicks....

[catoiler]

Where would one find a offset wheel in an 8 or 10" by 15" for slicks?They need to be a positive offset to clear the cailiper. unless someone is making a reasonably priced 16" slick.

I have not mounted these so I am not 100% they will fit. I bought MT 16x12 with the 4. 5 of backspace. I will be mounting M&H slick to it that is 33" tall with 106 r/o They say it will fit. I will know this weekend.

Let me know how they work out. Mike

Mike, are you shopping for the upcoming event?

 

[catoiler]

Why yes I am!I'm hoping to get off the line this time without goin sideways down the track. :-laf

I have a set of Bart racing wheels for a stock truck (8 lug) that will accomodate a 15 inch wide tire. I am not sure on the backset but I think they will work. I cannot use them now that I have narrowed the rear

 

[catoiler]

Are those the wheels that Nowel had on it?If so I don't think they will clear the calipers. If you could measure the backspacing that would be great!





Thanks Mike

 

[DRAG DIESEL]

they won't clear the 03 calipers, mike.

Nowel had to do some grinding on the drums to get them to fit, if I remember correctly--there was a kid at the Sonora sled pull that had some 15" Bart's on his truck that he used for the pull--he said there wasn't a lot of room between the drum and rim---like millimeters---chris

A few of the cheby boys have some rims on theirs that stick out and clear but stupid me forgot to ask where they found them! Thanks anyway Hoss.

 

[DRAG DIESEL]

The ones i have will fit your truck mike. But they will stick out. Bart 15x10's 3. 5 backspacing, i think. Summit, get the one with the least amount of backspacing, they should clear.
