Another 15 inch wheel option>?

Be carefull with bogarts on the street. I will try to find the picture of my buddies destroyed fox body. Thanks to a folding bogart.And for the record he was doing the speed limit 40 mph when it happened. Bogarts are not street worthy you'll never find a Bogart rep who will say you can street drive them. I said in an earlier post they wouldn't even recomend that I make the 30 mile true street hike with them.

IMO if I cant drive it on the street then the last thing I what is to be going 130 down the track with it !

from the looks of it billet specialties may have released the wheel we have been looking for correct offset to clear brakes but its for an f-body id imagine they could drill a diffrent bolt pattern ???????

Before I bought the Bogarts I was looking into the BS's pretty hard. Unfortunately, they seem to not be interested in tapping the S197 market with a 15" wheel option.

Freak, you are right, judging by the pdf it would work if the right bolt pattern was on it....plus, I just copied that pdf to my autocad and I am playing around a little...hahahah

lmao here we go round 2 , oh and buckman take this for what it's worth " supposedly " they will be releasing a correct fitment wheel this spring , now with that said so was greg weld last year , yea still no wheel

I got these wheels for Christmas and some 3/8" wheel spacers. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/67001/10002/-1#

I finally tried them on today, but they don't clear the calipers. They rub just a little. If I get them balanced, the weights will make it worse. I can probably use 1/2" spacers and if the weights interfere, I'll have to grind on the calipers.

Also, no way I'll be able to use the stock studs after using 1/2" spacer.

joedls, how much do you think you'll have to grind off with the 3/8" spacer...I have heard guys running 1/4" spacers and grinding a little

Probably like 1/8" without the weights, but once I get the weights on thw wheel, it would probably be more like a 1/4".

17x9.5 with a 7.5 b.s will that work? m&h has a 17" dot slick. maybe thats an option?

i tried the same thing last night and got the same results. Alittle grinding of the caliper is all you need. Not much, but Ill probably do more than I need to just in case. One question though... When you put the rim on, what lugnuts did you use? I used the stock lugnuts and they were a tight squeeze and had some threads, but I dont know if it felt like enough threads to be able to do 110 in the 1/4 and trust them holding...I really dont want to switch the lugstuds out unless I have to bc then it will look retarded with open lugnuts on my street wheels (FR500 18x9, 18x10). Comments??

not enough b/s on those you need 7.5 on a 10" wheel or you could run 5.5bs on a 8"
