Size: Front drag rim?
 
Looking at drag rims to buy....

Decided for the rear im going with a
15" x 10" 5 x 4.500" with a 6.5" Back Spacing

Now for the fronts....Here are my options

15" x 4" 5 x 4.500"
or
15" x 6" 5" x 4.500"

Im thinking of the 4" wide I like the look of skinnies....BUT what Back Spacing is needed? Only 2 options.....

15" x 4" with a 1.750"
or :confused:
15" x 4" with a 2.313"

Then I also need to know the offset.....again only 2 options
Either -5.00mm or -19.00mm???????

Its for the front of my 94 GT....
Thanks!

You would want the 2.313" backspacing to keep the tires under the fenders.

FINALLY a responce LOL

Thanks a lot ED :tup

What off set do I need? -5.00mm or -19.00mm........ I assume the 19.00mm

fast Ed Jun 8, 2009 04:41 PM

That would be the -5 mm offset. Those numbers are usually positive for an SN95 Mustang application, but in this case it is slightly negative because of the narrow width.


cheers

I would not get the 4's. the 6's would be better for the street. I remember when brent peeled a tire off the front of his car at shannonville trying to stop, he had the 4" on the front. He sold them promptly after that.

Keith has 4 wheel disc brakes. Probably will make a huge difference for stopping safely

I thought about this for awhile.....

The 4"s would be lighter over the 6", plus the 4" look sick...
I do most of my driving on the street and im not too sure on the cornering part lol

I don't know what I want its too hard to decide any more.... I'm constantly changing my mind.

lol. the 4's will make your car handle like a school bus. It gets worse if you remove the front sway bar.

I guess I forgot to tell you its laying on the ground LOL
It weighed to much.
