The Offical Jegs 15" Wheel Thread

[DarkFireGT]

The Jegs 15x8 being used actually has 5.5" BS, not 4.5". As mentioned, to not stick out, the 15x10 would need a BS of 7.5", to have a chance of fitting.

 

[Liftedbronco]

ah, my bad. so then let me echo what was said before. why the HELL doesnt anyone make a 15x10 with 7.5bs? Or if you prefer, why the HELL did ford make our rear end so wide? (insert joke here)

 

[joedls]

2 questions.
will the 15x8 with 4.5" bs fit on the front? Id like to use these on the street.
Also, jegs makes a 15x10 with 6.5bs. The outside lip should not stick out cuz its the same as a 15x8 with 4.5bs. The extra 2 inches in on the inside edge. I gather that you guys say the 10 inch rim wont fit. Why?

The 15 X 8 on the rear needs to have a 5.5" BS, not 4.5", to not stick out. That's why the 15 X 10 needs a 7.5" BS.

black05stxjt,
Can you please sum this up and post part# for the rims and tires and total cost?

thanks

Just swapped out the front wheel studs. The stock ones are actually 2.25" vs 3.315" for the new ones. I'm not sure the lug nuts I ordered are gonna be long enough for my street wheels. And I probably won't get to try them out tomorrow. I'll be in Pomona all day at the swapmeet.

While I was at the swapmeet in Pomona I got some longer lugnuts just in case. I'm glad I did. The ones I ordered from Summit (1.9" long) were too short once I removed the 3/8" spacers and put on my street wheels/tires.

So what about my other question. Will the 15x8 fit on the front if i were to want to make these my street wheels?

No one else has tried that option to my knowledge.

15x8 Jegs will NOT fit the front - Caliper is way too big - You could NOT grind it down enough.. I tried too

Bummer. I wonder if theres a 17" option that looks good with the 15 in the rear.

Why anyone would pay that much for a 17" wheel is beyond me...

 

[NastyStang113]

Any 16" wheels out there that fit correctly?

 

[Dex]

the V6 wheels will but they are 7" wide. Im sure a 16" wheel is just as big as a pain in the ass to fit. Im tryin out some 15x8 and 15x10 prostars out tomorrow. b/s looks like it may work

 

[SlvrS197]

Just ordered my fronts and rears for my 07. will post up results and pics afterward.

 

[firestang70]

Well i picked up my rims yesterday. I swapped my front brackets and rotors to the 4.0 pieces. It does free up some room. I still did some grinding. Still rubbed. I measured out washers 1/4" for spacers, no rub with some room to spare. With more aggressive grinding I may have got them to work w/o spacers. I did not want to grind them too much. It appeared ( I was tired though) that rim was tucked inside the fendr. I will also post some pics when the tires are mounted.

Bogarts are 15x10 and nothing happens.
