Getting 15" fronts to fit inside the wheel well

[MLC40]

I am not sure this is of interest to anyone but thanks to BMR and the gang at MPH Racing my 15" front look a lot better. My setup is Holeshot wheels 15x4.5 in front and 15x10 in the back. I have always hated the fact that my front tires stick out about an inch and talked to BMR about custom A arms. They have a set that will work but it requires the use of a bump steer kit to get the alignment back to normal. I am posting before and after pic’s and have more if anyone wants them.

man that looks so much better. any pic from standing in front of the car in line with the tire? will this also work on newer stangs?

That looks much better. The before pic is one of the main reasons I ditched my 15 by 3.75 Race stars.

Very cool, another way is by putting on 11.5" front rotors and brackets and getting a 15" front rim with more offset. That way you don't have to mess with a arms and alignment so its quicker to go back to a street set up if needed.

For me it was that easy--I had bogart change the backspacing by milling off the spacer on the inside (that clears the stock brakes), and I put on some strange drag race brakes.

However--for a street driver wanting to retain the factory brakes, the different A-arm would be the way to go I would think---as a wheel with enough positive offset to get it under the car would hit the factory brakes (in a 15" wheel).

Here are two more... The a-arms are different but call BMR and see what they can do.

Where do the 11.5" brakes come from? 05-09 V6?

Just saw this! Thanks for the call Jamie.

Yes, we have a version like this....well, actually only (1) set in Red left....for 2005-2009 cars. I guess, if I got enough interest, I could see about offering 1" shorter arms for you guys who want to "tuck" the fronts.

Jamie, I am very glad this worked for you. I was very curious to see, and it worked EXCELLENTLY!!!

Sure hope there is enough interest for the 10-14 cars as I would love to have a set of 1" shorter arms. Currently considering the adjustables but a 1" shorter arm would be great!

I had my 17x4.5" Racestars milled down 1/4" inch for perfect fit when I had my '05. Fit like a dream. I'll bet 15's could be milled too.
