Need wheels...what are you guys running?
I put a page up with some pics of Centerline Telstars.
It will give you an idea of what 15"X4" with 1-5/8" BS and 15"X8" with 5" BS would look like.

I've been following this thread and looking at some of the pictures. It's all a matter of taste, but I really think a 4th gen needs more than 5" BS, even with an 8-9" rim. let alone a 10". When the top of the tire starts to protrude past the fender lip, it just looks too 60's/ghetto for my taste. Some people like that look, I guess.
It must be a function of the limited F-body market. But a lot of the wheels don't seem to be manufactured with >5" of BS. That's too bad, 'cause it was painful to pay ~$350/wheel for the Bogarts. But at least they look the way I prefer.

That really the only bad thing. When buying drag wheels for our cars you cant be too picky. Your pretty limited as to what you can get and what will fit so you just have to deal with it or customize like my man did shortening his 12 bolt to tuck the wheels in.

I didn't want to look ghetto, so I narrowed the 12-bolt 2 inches. Now the 325's are tucked nicely under the fenders
I will try to get some pictures for you....

Tuck um in boys....
As much as I would like the wheels in more, everyone seems to agree that have seen the car in person that it looks more aggressive.
Stopped by a buds work on the way from work last night, his exact words, the pictures do not do this justice.

Finally!!!
I,m gettin some love for my 70s look.
I have Weld Pro Star XPs in 15x10 with 5.5 BS, and yes they stick out a bit. I was kinda thinkin the same way RK was but now that they have been on for a while I like the look alot, gets lots of compliments too.
For me tuckin the wheels under looks too wussy, havin em stick out a bit makes the car look tuff.
All a matter of taste I guess.
Only problem is I am now scaring off alot of the stoplight racers, they see those Nittos sticking out there and all of a sudden they want nothing to do with racing me.
Now I am stuck racing the fast guys and I always lose cause they have more mods than me.

My wheels stick out some as well. Not like back in the day when people did it entionally to hondas and what not and the cars looked like frogs going down the road. I kinda like the stance it gives the car. Im running 205-60-15's on the front and 295-50-15's on the rear and it sets nicely. IMO
Like I said before. When getting these type wheels for our cars.You really cant be to picky because theres not alot out there for them. Now unless we were riding on dubs with spinners we could pretty much have whatever we wanted.
