Okay guys bare with me, I haven't the slightest clue of what to get for wheels and tires. I'm looking to getting some Draglite series 90s for the rears. I need to order them soon so I can hit the drag strip at the Supra Nations in Aug. http://www.weldracing.com/wheels/details.asp?wheelid=34&name=Draglite&style=90&desc=1-Piece%20Forged%20Alloy%20Polished

Can't find the hubsize lug mesurements on the old CS page or how to accest it. I know, i know this a idiot question and yes, i'm an idiot lol. Sorry for asking but which one do i order, and at what offset?

Second question is, what's the tallest tire I can run with those wheels. I'd like to get some M/T ETs.

Thanks

I ran a search using "lug bolt pattern". I knew one of them would bring up the size. That was the easy part.

4-114.3.

Now as to what wheel size to get...... Others???

Well, start with the tire and work back to the right welds that fit.
M/T ET Street Drag 15 x 10.5 (26" diameter) 'wrinkle wall' tires actually have a 8.3" tread width. Just need some room for the bulge and wrinkle.

So the Weld 15 x 8 0 offset 4-4.5 would be the wheel for those tires.

Okay, thanks guys! Took some measurements off a spare wheel. The hub diameter is 2.365"... The smallest hub bore on that Draglite list is 2.95"! Please tell me I'm crazy but IIRC, there was a guy here who had Draglites on all four rims. Maybe, they discontinued that size...
Going to call them in the morning.

Thanks again.

Hub diameter 60.1 mm. Buy the closest that is smaller and have it machined out.

What Raj has suggested does cost some more for machining, but it makes the most sense in the long run.

Otherwise you will have to order hub rings at $5.00 a pop for plastic ones and $10-$12 for aluminum.

Refresher: Hub rings make the wheels lug centric, therefore 1) less prone to vibrations due to the wheel slipping on the pad, 2) less stress on the 4 lugs.
