Default 15x10 drag wheels with acorn style Lug Nuts

this is sooo frustrating.

ok, I've always used the Weld Prostars but am tired of those shan lug nuts that keep on shaving my wheel studs off.

I want a wheel that is strong enough for drag racing fits a set of 295/65/15 ET Street Radials (they need a 10" wide wheel) that ues Acorn style lug nuts.

Everytime I think I found one the back spacing is only 5 max, I had tried the jegs with 4.5 backspacing but they didn't fit and I don't think the 5 is good enough...true?

Centerline Telstars can be made with a 5.5 but since they just went out of business I'm screwed there.
I did see Bogart wheels using Acorn lug nuts but I can't find a place that sells them and I don't know if the back spacing would work.

Anyone have any idea what wheels would work?

Well, if its used for drag racing I dont think you would need or want a 10 inch wide rim for a 295 tire. Get one that 9 inch wide.
I have no clue about back spacing (an american car thing for offset i guess)

some people just bolt on 300zx rims its probably cheaper then buying new rims.

When it comes to mrtomcat , I don't think he's looking for the cheapest route.

Well, I ordered the Centerline Terminators today. 15x10 5x.45 with 5.5 back spacing using Acorn Style lugs. I hope this will be finally it I am soooo tired of this wheel crap. They were expensive though $280 a piece that makes them about double price of the welds but I'll safe a ton on stud replacements
