Default Greg Weld Motorsports Wheels + SN95 = ......

I bought a set of 15x5 and 15x8 Greg Weld Motorsports wheels and finally got them mounted with tires and installed on the car.

The front wheels are, obviously, 15x5 (w/3.5" backspace) with 195/65R15 Sumitomo HTR-T4 tires. The rears are 15x8 (w/5.5" backspace) with 275/50R15 BFG drag radials. The fronts required 1/4" spacer which I sourced from Maximum Motorsports to provide enough clearance for the brake caliper cages.

I have pics but not on this PC. I will, hopefully, post them later tonight if time permits.

after 5 days & no replies, i'll jump in the middle of it.
WHY would you want to put 15's on? i can't figure out why anyone would put 15's on anything newer than a '68!

Why do you care why I put 15" wheels and tires on my car?

Quite simply, I like the look of a drag strip oriented car better. It's my personal choice. That's why I put 15" wheels and tires on the car.

If you don't like them, don't look at my car. Pretty simple. I looked high and low for pictures of an SN-95 car set up for the strip rather than road racing setups. They were VERY hard to find. Since I bought these wheels and am extremely pleased with the result I thought I would share the pics in case any one else was looking for drag oriented pics.

Its fine to use what ever tire & wheel combo you want.
The wheel design fits the car well no matter if there 15's or 17's.. it looks good

I rarely like 15's myself.. i like some here and there on foxbodys but thats it.

He gave a good reason...he likes going to track

werd i dont see the issue why 15s are so bad. They look good, its good when people do something different every once in awhile

No. Not really. As I said there are few 94-up cars with drag oriented and I wanted to share in case anyone wanted to see how they look.

Your wheels would look great with my new hood. I was looking at those wheels in MMFF and I like them. BTW you want more sidewall and less rim for better traction.
