Okay, got the right wheels now (i think). What else do these need, hub rings, and lugs? There also seems to be a lot of back spacing. Spacers, yes/no?
They are 15x9 4 x 4-1/4'', 4-1/2''..

Thanks.

Hopefully you can get shank type lugs that go that deep. Those studs look pretty far in. You should buy hubcentric spacers as well.

How, where, what size? I don't even know where to begin. There's a lug specific to these wheels but with spacers they might not be enough. And at some point it might need longer studs?

Thanks.

Pretty sure those wheels use this kind of lug (extra long ones m12x1.5 IIRC)

You have to find one the right length to grab enough threads.

Got your PM Dave.

15x9 should have at least 5.5" of backspacing according to their website (+13mm offset). You're fine with the +13. The wheels on my car are +10 and the ROH Snypers are +17.

12x1.5 thread pitch on the lugs.

Your best bet is to measure how deep the holes in the wheels are and then get a 1/4" shorter. Then measure how wide the holes are and make sure the shank can fit through. Don't forget the washers for each lug. I could have sworn Weld had special mag lugs due to the small diameter holes. Contact Weld and see if they will sell you a set of mag lugs in a 12x1.5 thread pitch plus washers for your Draglites.

Oh yeah.. and definitely hub rings.

Thanks for all the help, bosses! Wield does sell them, and they'll be here Sat according to Les Swab.

On the rings, do I take them to a tire shop and let 'em figure it out or do I have to find a machine shop?

Thanks again!

Find out the ID of the hub bore on the wheels (2.95" -> 74.93mm), compared to the OD of the wheel hub of the Supra (60mm).

You need a hub centering ring 14.93mm thick.

buy the weld lugs and washers for draglites; they work well!

Wade, to test fit I pulled the shock and spring to drop the car down onto the wheel. This will let you know at what point you'll have problems (if any). This pic has the lug nuts with washers installed,, and evidence of running too wide of a tire
