Default Can I use these drags??

I have a salvage yard and came up with a brand new set of wheels and bgf drag radials on. I dont know if it will fit. The tires are 275/50/15 the wheels are same bolt pattern but the offset looks crazy. It looks liek one of those weld 5 star wheels but the backspacing is reallll close. theres like a 6-8in lip on this wheel.
Think I can fit these on the Z>

there is a formula for fitting the Back Spacing on line some where..Basically, measure the BS on your oem rim and do it to these and see if its close.

i think you will need spacers on the back and either some longer studs or new lug nuts to fit them.

the rears are very close to the lip the rears will fit that no problem im just afraid the fronts will stick out way too much and damage my quarter panel
I guess only way to find out is by tryin

I have a set of the Weld ProStars 15x10 and the outer lip is 3".The inner lip is almost 7".Mine have 5.5 rear spacing and work fine with the proper lugnuts.

IMHO those are going to look like $hit on the front and not good for drag racing.Be very careful when you put them on and make sure you have the right lugnuts.
