Default LG 15'' Drag Spindles - Rear Wheel Options

What wheel sizes are supported?
Do most folks buy an extra set of 15'' Weld wheels for street duty?

With the stock spindles you can run the factory 18s or 16s.
What is the range with the LG spindles?

Under stock fenders with out m/tub. Rickey the 15 inch rims working good for you buddy. I am going to hate if the new 16,s dont work good and I have to get r go to the 15,s with all of that cost on top of everthing to do it.. Robert

69ls6 - Thank you. I assumed it wouldn't be an issue, but am not a fan of assumptions.
Any need to mini-tub for the 15s with the LG spindles?

not really.Without custom wheels it hard to get more back space then 7.5

fenders will make it so you can go wider.

I got a set of 16x8 z28 rims to work with a bit of grinding. Not sure it's worth it to me to go after 15 in.

15" tires = best selection at cheapest price.

It will pay in the long run

LG upgrade recommend for 16" and small rims. We have these on a c6 with 16"x12" rims.

Install on the spindles was super easy.

I got race star industries Dark Stars, 15x10 with a 7.25 Backspace. I did have to do some minor grinding on the calipers and switch to a base C6 rotor and caliper bracket (mines a Z51) rims fit not problem, i havent had a chance to test fit with the tires yet , but i went with Hoosier QTP 11.5x28

Are they smaller than stock to fit the 15" rim better?
