What makes you think it will clear the calipers? And even if it does, it's going to stick out of the fenderwell by 3 or 4 inches. :shock:

with a 15x12 you would need around 9.5" of back spacing for them not to stick out and that would cause the wheel to hit the shock.....the perfect wheel is a 15x10 with 7.5" back spacing

LOL... it's only 8:45pm. I'm not so old that I can't make it until 11:00 - 11:30 on a weeknight. hahah

haha, I forgot....it is 11:00 over here in the Central time zone....




Those wheels have the deminsions to fit but not sure about them clearing the brake rotors/calipers or swaybar with the relocation brackets

I'll bet you lunch that the Draglites won't work. You need spacers at a minimum. They won't clear the calipers.



Also they need to be 40+mm offset dont they ?
Not necessarily... A 15x10 with 7.5" bs has an offset of about 51mm. Here is a brief description of offset and backspacing: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/tech.php?bulletin=s10

Mike @ Greg Weld told me the new 15x10" & 15x3.5" are in production for our 05 & up Mustangs & should be in stores this week or next week.No spacers required either.I need these so bad!!! I wish i could have them for this weekend.

Don did you try these to see if they fit already?


Also how much was Greg Weld talking about per wheel?

When was this conversation? I know they have been saying it's getting closer but a week or two from now would be SWEET.

I hope they are making a shit load of these because they're going to need too, once someone confirms they fit.

I spoke with a Greg Weld rep. via email yesterday and I got the same time frame in reference to their 17in drag stars 2-3 weeks so maybe the same for the 15s.
