Mine stick out a little but you wouldn't be doing these anyway unless you plan to change your brakes..they are 15's

16" CCW skinnies. This is the standard drag set-up.

This picture is The fearless leader Edgar Perez, driving my car in July. These are the only 2 pictures I have at the moment.

Ah you are committing to smaller brakes...cool. Not sure what the size is cause I bought them used. I will look inside to see if it says anything.

They do stick out some....let me see if I can find you some more pitures

Wayne there are several in this gallery that show some angles you can see them sticking out...I might have some parked shots at a different computer...I will check

Mine don't stick out, they are not even as far out as stock.

Well, strip the paint and polish them(or chrome), heck, they were only $60 a piece with tires.

REDGAR · 12-27-2006, 05:08 PM

60 a piece? What tires are on there? I presum you bought them used?

In the pic are the tires that came with the wheels, the temp spares. So far they have not given me any trouble, but if you want to run with slicks you will need a bias tire to match. Yes, these were used from a auto recycler, plenty of them around.
