15" Rear Wheels Without Any Tricks?

[92GreenGT]

Hello,

I don't have a SN95 Cobra but I do have a 92GT with Cobra brakes front and rear. I searched but got a lot of threads dealing with Cobra FRONT brakes and 15" wheels but I'm not worried about that. I plan on leaving the 17" wheels up front and just throw some DR's on the back. Are there any wheels that will fit without spacers or low profile banjo bolts? I haven't bought brake hoses yet for mine and I'm trying to decide if I want to run 15" wheels or 16" wheels. I read a post on Corral that one guy bought some 15x8(I believe it was 8" wide) Summit Pro Star knock offs and they fit without spacers or banjo bolt grinding(I think he had lower profile bolts than stock though) but I'm just looking for a more up to date info on the situation. Thanks in advance!!!!

im unsure of my backspacer but i have some 15x10 weld drag lights and they bolt right up without any spacers or grinding, i have a 98 slobra.

If you get a chance look on the back of the wheels to find the back spacing and let us know, that would be awesome man! Are the pro stars or drag lites?

most all require a little grinding, its not that big of a deal, maybe someone can post a pic of how much or at least where exactly it is you need to grind off, I have to do mine this summer once it gets warm as well.

they are drag lights, ill see if i can find out the back spacing, you sure theres a number some place?

Yeah there will be all the specs stamp on the back of the spokes

Here is what I used with perfect results.

Weld Prostars 15x8 with 5.5BS and a 1/4" spacer.

They just rubbed a very tiny bit then I put on the spacer and they fit perfect.

Very nice.

Do you think using a low profile banjo bolt would of saved you the 1/4" spacer?

I didnt know they made a low profile banjo bolt. If that is true then that would save alot of headache and could probably run 10" rims without grinding.

Post number 6. I actually found a place that has some cheaper but I'm waiting to hear back if they'll fit inside the stock lines without anything else needed.

Well if you read down he said that the tire fit with no grinding or banjo bolt mod so I guess that answers your question. As far as I know if you stay with a 8" wide rim then you need no grinding but if you go to a 10" you need to grind.
