The Offical Jegs 15" Wheel Thread

[autumn_again]

oh i know. i made sure they worked before i bought the tires for the front. it took a little messing with but after trying a few times i got them to work perfectly. i am having a hard time with getting them torqued evenly with a 3/8 drive rachet haha, so tomorrow i'll be open to all my other tools which have been over my brothers for building his car up.

what size tire are you running for the front?

i'm running a 165/80/15 kumho and i love the look of it, but i have a feeling it may be a little shorter then your tire.

When I had my old Weld Draglite XP's with a 4.5" BS, and 275/50 M/T's they stuck out like crazy, and were heavy as shit. Way heavier that my stock 18's...

I had decided to get rid of them a while back because I could not pull decent 60's with them at all, but could do some insane work with some 17's with M/T's on them.

Do y'all think that because my old Draglite's stuck out so much I couldn't pull good times? Could the weight of the wheels affected me that much as well? I never figured it out, and got sick of them and sold them.

Like others, I'm liking these Jegs wheels, but what's the weight of these suckers? IMO, I think I'd be down with picking up some of these, but I'm concerned with the weight, and fitment of them as well...

I ordered a set to play with for front runners. I got v6 brakes up front, will see if they can be made to fit without the spacer.

I dont have any good pics of mine right now because im on my old ladies laptop..............(internet access is hard for me lol), but I can say mine dont stick out as much as the OPs because I have seen his in person. His really dont look bad at all, he just has a larger tire. I can text anyone a pic of them if you give me your cell number but i cant promise a great pic lolI went 11.90s on a 75 shot, and the skinnies help out alot actually. Heck i daily drive on mine!!!!

If you go with Bogarts you will get the same thing. I just don't understand why someone can't make a wheel to fit these cars correctly.

I had to grind on my calipers to get the Jegs Sport Lite wheel to work with a 3/8" spacer. I only got about 6 turns on the studs so I'll be getting the longer studs. I'm using a MT ET Front tire and it sticks out a little, but the tread tucks in under the fender. I'll live with it.

No problem. Let me know if you're looking for something I haven't included.

Joe, how much does that 17 weigh?

I don't know. I never weighed them, but I can tell you they are lighter than my 18" Replica Bullets.

please let me know what studs you go with. Ive been thinking of doing the same thing with the longer studs, but cant figure out what the correct knurl size, and thread pattern is for our cars. post up a link of the ones you order, please!

Thats 2.5 inches wider than the rim. Thats' some serious bulge, is that ok? Isn't the general rule not to go over 1.5" vs the wheel width?

 

[Natural1]

I like it. Personally, I would probably use a smaller tire but it does look good! Thanks for the pictures!
