STAINLESS again plz You've changed man....

Really liking the look of 15x10 convo pro's on the rear and 15x8 on the front...What do I need to look for as far as offset, back spacing, stud pattern etc when purchasing? Cars a tray back fg turbo ute with stock brakes. Tray can be modified to suit if rears have to creep outwards at all, would actually prefer if they did.Once that's sorted, whats a good street strip shoe to suit this 15x10 15x8 combo? Its sitting as low as legal on 20"s atm...And where should I go in vic?P.s I like the convo's but am open to suggestion as its 99% street car an 1% strip... but that 99% is just wheel spin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But grinding calipers is somethin I dont wanna do. Problem is im hearing yer they fit the back but not the front from VPW and hearing other stories from other people. Round 2 mods are in the pipelines and will be chasing 400rwkw. Would love to get these wheels if possible. If not then oh well. Find somethin else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid_ford Member 47 Member For: 19y 2m 27d Location: Adelaide SA Posted 11/07/11 04:13 AM Share Posted 11/07/11 04:13 AM I have just fitted some 15x7 to my BA MK2 with PBR PK8 upgrade kit to the rear wheels. Did not have to grind the calipers with this brake setup to get them to fit. My rims might be strange as they state they are 15x6 but must have been widened to 15x7. They do have a FORD stamp on them. I have painted them silver and fitted some 235/60 R15 Mickey Thompson ET street radials to them. Just need some help to find the local drag strip now........
