Which size of a drag wheel should i buy?

[sekret]

15x8?

If our fitiment is 5x114, what is that in inches, in other words, which wheel from this list would fit? I tried searching but it just confused me more, haha.

The 114 is mm. It's actually 114.3, so if you divide by 25.4, you get 4.5". You need a wheel that is 5-4.5". Do you have Brembos? If so, I don't believe many of the 15" wheels will fit. Some 16s don't even fit over my rear Brembos - some do. I know a few guys run a 15" DR though, so hopefully they'll chime in with which wheel they run. If you don't have Brembos, you could probably source FC or Z32TT rear wheels very cheaply. They are 16" diameters.

im base so no brembos here, i am an 07 though so i'm not too sure about how the rear brakes compare to the brembos.

thanks for letting me know sizing though!

i'm thinking these: http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/67021/10002/-1

with these: http://www.jegs.com/i/Hoosier/522/17315/10002/-1

Heres what alot of guys use including myself....Weld ProStar 15x8 with a 5.5 rear back space.The bolt circle is 5 x 4.5. Jegs part# is 927-96-58210

And don't forget to get the lugs..12mm x 1.25 closed ends Jegs part # 927-601-1410.

I would recommend the M/T DR's 275 x 50 x 15...that way you can drive to and from the track without changing out your tires.

if youre looking for something at a good price, i would agree with scotts on the z32tt rears. they are pretty light (16lbs IIRC) and you can get them for cheap

[coachk]

The setup I listed weighs 45 lbs each (tire and wheel)
My 15 x 8's weigh 20lbs each and my 15 x 10's weigh 22lbs each

thats actually more than i would have expected, but i guess that tire does weight in at battleship status. those wheels that you suggested are great wheels, a little heavier than i would have expected though given the price. for 200+/wheel you should be able to get a 10-12 lb 15X8. i can get 2 16X8's at a weight of 15lbs for $250. but thats just a really good deal. with weld you do pay a little for the name. but theyre still great wheels and very well constructed

[sekret]

wow, thanks guys! lets hope i can pull some nasty 60fts next month!

be sure to let us know!
