Title: tryin to buy some wheels
Post by: HOTRDCHVY388 on March 24, 2011, 05:27:45 pm

im trying to buy some drag wheels for my 85' chevy but they dont make 5x5 wheels under 15x12's does anybody know of a car rotor that will slide on my stock spindle so i can go with a 5x4.75 or 5x4.5 wheel? or is there any other solutions?

15x12 for the front? What do you mean they don't make 15x12 in 5x5? What wheels are you looking for specifically?

I think he is talking about skinnies for the front.  Probabaly 15x3.5 or 4.5

If that's the case and you cannot find the wheel you want in 5x5 look for some wheel adapters.

Have you looked at the Billet Specialties "Street Lite" series. They may be your wheel...

ya im wanting skinnies (15x4) in the front, and fats (15x10) in the rear. i found that Centerlines make all their wheels in 5x5 big chevy lug patterns. so i went with the Centerline Qualifier wheel.
