15x10 Wheel on IRS: How-To

[ModularSpeed]

Just going to post all the pics I took during this unpleasant journey.

Wheels: 15x10 RaceStars / 7" BS
Tires: 295/55/15 MT DR

Parts purchased:
Stifflers Brake Lines
MM IRS Bolts
MM 1/2" Wheel Spacers (pictured are RR 3.8" Spacers)

I will be purchasing new toe-link ends and "fine tuning" them as I am not too happy about the end result. I may even make my own toe-link set-up.

If you have questions, ask.

Hopefully someone will find this useful. I sure would have.

And yes, I had to grind the ends of the E-Brake Cables. They made a nice "scar" on the inside of my new wheels.... I did everything initially with the E-Brake activated, and did not realize I needed to grind the E-Brake cable until I went to finalize installation.

Oh man be carful with the scars I had a set of bogarts and one had scared took the car out the hoop split.

 

[ModularSpeed]

Yeah, I already had one set of scarred wheels get cracked...

Damn, thanks for the write up man. I was curious about all this crap since im about to do a drag setup.

For those of us who want to maximize our track time and go as fast as possible a 15" tire is the best bet.
When I had the IRS I used the Centerline Convo Pros and had to do minimal grinding on the IRS knuckle only. It took me 10 minute total and I was set.
Each wheel has different fitment issues. Obviously Kelly lucked upon the worst 15s for an IRS.

If you want to bring a knife to a gun fight them run 17s and 18s.
Now Kelly get that pig tuned for E85 and lets hit the track!!!

So I guess you aren't up for any intelligent discussions on this subject?

As most of us have. Luckily parts are replaceable so no permanent damage.

Watch out we have a bad ass over here.

Guess I shouldn't of cut circular holes in my engine compartment for the turbos? Guess people shouldn't go automatic since they have to modify their cross member? Guess people shouldn't modify cars period? Tell the thousands of racers not to put 15's on their car since they have to modify something. Just because modifying cars is out of your scope doesn't mean it isn't correct or shouldn't be done. Don't state your opinion if you don't know anything about it, just makes you appear like you don't know anything...in this case as example.

Your right, jig rig racing at its best in this thread ...... do they have tech at your track? i guess not, go put your your self & the safety of others at risk or maybe worse get killed being a dumb f@%k over grinding a knukle & tie rod "how to do"......fyi i been racing stangs &fords for 25 yrs real racers dont sacerfice safety!!!!!!thats what its about, go sell that shit some where else....scope that.

 

[ModularSpeed]

If you have an issue with it, it is very simple to not open this thread and type on your keyboard. I appreciate the criticism, really, but you have said your part, so long now.

Racers don't sacrifice safety?
