Wait a minute...
These are 15" wheels!
Looking at the pic of your car...the wheels,I'm thinkin to myself.I can see why
this guy WANTS to change wheels!
Awful.
Now,you are looking at the same thing.
Maybe I read your post wrong and you are looking at this design wheel in
a larger(18"-19") size?
Whats up?
For the life of me,I still can't see a Z as a drag car.
Like,you ever see Ferrari,Lambo or even a BMW set up for drags?

Are you going to have to run spacers front and rear? I get pretty frustrated when I mount my Bogarts I always have to install the spacers then wheels it just gets tiring.

They are Bogart D10s 15x4 front and 15x10 rear I have no idea what the back spacing is but I use 20mm spacers up front and 30mm rear.
