what 15 in rims to get for a 96 gt

[Arrgorndenethor]

i'm tired of my 17x9 chrome cobra r on m 96 gt, i want to switch out to a skinny up front and a decent 15 in in the back any ideas i was thinking something similar to the weld wheels, but they need to be durable enough for the street.

Depends on the streets.  If they are s***ty, good luck.  Those kinds of rims aren't really made for every day use.  That being said, Draglites are always safe- they look good on anything.  I'm getting Pro-Stars for mine.  Pretty much, anything from Weld or Centerline would look good.  If money's not a big deal, there's always Bogart.

yeah money is tight, i live on gravel, but they just redid our road, i don't drive to far on gravel. if anyone is near sioux city ia looking for some cobra Rs, i've got some forsale, i will negotiate the price

I meant bad as in pot holes etc...   You just have to be careful.

[Arrgorndenethor]

fing pot holes  naw they do get rid of most of those just some of the roads aren't very smoothe and the low pro's ride like sh$#.

[Arrgorndenethor]

btw anyone know the back spacing for the rims i can fit?  and how do you find that measurement so  can order the wheels?  and who 
here has run weld racing rims on a 96 or new stang?

[David Claflin]

Use a dodge wheel, they can be had in 15x7.

[Arrgorndenethor]

i looked into using the welds, i have to really space the rim away from the brake calipers, i don't want to do that.

[David Claflin]

I was thinking you meant for the rears only to mount a slick, my bad.

[Arrgorndenethor]

no all the way around, skinnies up front and a drag radial for the rear  naw i want to find a nice 16" rim to replace my have chrome wheels

[Arrgorndenethor]

i just ordered in 15X5.5 for the front and 15X9 for the rear Weld Pro stars 

[Arrgorndenethor]

So what do yall think of the Nitto 555R drag radial?
