The Offical Jegs 15" Wheel Thread

[05GT281]

Awesome. But just one question. I can see in the pics for the rear that the car was jacked up by the pumpkin. Just wondering if the car was resting on a jack stand ? And if the rim was sitting were would be with a tire on it if it was on the ground ( for swaybar clearance)

 

[joedls]

does any1 know if the jegs draglite clones would work up front ....with the same offset/spacer ect. ?

Didn't work for my 07. See here: http://s197forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=172834&postcount=289

a 15x8 is plenty for a slick at my power level

 

[MexGT]

id like to see the rears with tires and the car in the ground, its def a good option

Dude, Get the 28x10.5 slicks. Put em on the car and lower it then take pics.....

 

[94tbird]

The front use spacers.....just like your bogarts

I know the bogarts use spacers. i was commenting on someone saying the fronts fit with no grinding

cool! make sure you spin the front wheel when its up in the air, bc mine rubbed alittle with the 3/8" spacer. It doesnt rub much and not all the way around, just in one particular spot. Let me know how it works out and I cant wait to see the pics, bc thats exactly what ill be running, just didnt want to be the guinea pig!

 

[DarkFireGT]

That's awesome. Can't wait to see it with everything mounted. I still can't believe no one had tried these before, especially considering how cheap they are.

Thanks for being the guinea pig. You've made a lot of people happy.

Did you, by chance, weigh the wheels?

 

[black05stxjt]

got the slicks from a friend today 28x10.5 Stiff sidewall......i scaled them at 15lbs a piece

 

[don_w]

wow, how come no one found this out sooner?

I'm guessing most aren't interested in 8" wheels.

 

[ZmanM3]

Thanks for the research. You could still put a 9" wide tire on the 8" rim correct?

I had to use 7/16" spacers with my previous 15x3.5 Weld Draglites. No rubbing.

the car was not on jack stands just with the jack under the car.....and as you can see in the pic's.....the sway bar is inside the wheel so therefore should be no interference with the tire when mounted.

all of Mickey Thompson tires are rated for a 8-10" wheel so anything in there line up that fits a 10 will work on a 8

the biggest thing you have to watch for with the fronts is to make sure that they are torqued even......if not they will rub....had the same thing happen to me.

This is pretty awesome news.

Do you think if you ran the v6 brakes up front you'd still need a spacer???

really if you grinded on the stock gt brakes you could make them clear with no spacer at all.
