    Hey Guys, do any of you have some pics, specs, info on wheels for my truck?

    I like the weld 15" stars and draglites, even the Rodlite.

    I want skinnier tires in the front and a 28" x 13-14" slick in the back.

    So, for the back i'm getting a 15x10, I need to know what offset, and for the front, I want about a 5-6 " tire.

    I need to buy these soon!

    thanks for any input,

    allen

    I like the convo-pro but they look like a bitch to polish. Centerline and Weld don't make many 5x5 wheels rated for trucks. You might get a list of ones available from them and then try to pick one. They can special build ones for you but if you ever trash one you will be down for months waiting on a replacement.

    I would do the RodLites just to be different and I have seen them on some ProStreet trucks and they look whole lot better on the trucka than on the pic. My next choice would be the ProStars, last would be the DragLites because everybody in the brother has them, and we have ran them on alot of are dragcars I just to the point I grew to hate them.

    I hate to bring up old threads, but anyone know what backspacing I need on pro stars? I want 6s or 7s up front and 10s in the rear. I am fixing to be done with my project truck, it is 90 model stepside reg. cab black on black. Thanks for the help.

    15 X 5 I THINK ITS 3.5" BACK SPACING, AND THE 15X12 5.5" BACK SPACING. THEY DO MAKE A 6.5 AND A 7.5 INCH BACK SPACING, BUT I CANT REMEMBER THE MAX SPACING ON THE OLDER BODY STYLE. I HAD A 91 STEP SIDE WITH DRAG LITES ON IT MANY YRS. AGO.

    I WOULD MEASURE THE REAR AND TUCK THE FATEST TIRE YOU CAN UNDER THERE WITHOUT HITTING THE SUSPENSION, B/C I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THE TRACTION.

    I AM GOING A 16 X 12 AND SOME STICKY MICKY'S ON THE BLACK TERD.

    i like the drag lites IMO





    also on a side note...... if you get a polished wheel, instead of having to keep on them things and breaking your back when you wanna polish it...... theres a new member on here TIM does powder coating and he can throw on a clear powder coat....... makes life much easier when you want to go clean your wheels
