Ok getting back on track........ Grat job and it looks like those rims gave you hell!
Granted i know 15's are the better option but what about comprimissing and running a 16"? I know the down side is rim options and tire availability right? how do 16" stack up against 15"?

Well, I actually have some 16" wheels to use....but by the time my car is "dialed" in....it is going to need all the sidewall it can get.
Rick, I know, I agree. Justin sent me my "touch-up" tune today....with a little note in the email, saying to quit playing around with the 93 and get to the real deal stuff. Hope to go to his shop soon with some Corn.

Looks great!!!
So you cleared with a 1/2" spacer, I just traded for this exact wheel set and was told they were 8" but they are 10" wide. So I've got a load of fun ahead of myself.
I've ready another site saying 3/4". Thoughts?

what I did was made my own rear tie rods, out of chrome molly hyme joints and they cleared perfect. a little grinding on calipers and I have 15x10 6.5 bs billet specialty wheels.
Can you post a pic or 3?
I am going to make my own shortly, as well. May even offer them to a small number of people. :rockon:
I am looking into a completely different way to run the tie-rods.... Should be cool.
Hey I have a question for you guys. I'm switching over to a drag set up and looking into the darkstar 15 bye 10 rear and the 17-4.5 front. I was thinking of going with the 16 rear but darkstar doesn't make it that size and I wanted to run a 15 anyways not besides grinding away a few things what's the widest tire your able to fit in the rear? The shop talked to darkstar and they claim I'm able to run a 315 I think either 55-60 15. I'm seeing for the most part everyone is going with a 295. And they said back spacing either6.25 or 7.5 which one did you run? And for the front the 17 inch with a 1.25 backspacing do I have any modifying to do.
What tires/size are you running on the front? Were there any issues in the front to clear the brakes? What were the front wheel specs?
17x4.5 fronts with MH 185 Radials
15x10 rears, 7" BS, 295/55/15 MT DR's.
I am not sure how people fit larger than 295's in the rear. I know it has been done, but, wow....there isn't much more room on my set-up.

really interested in pics ect. I feel ALOT better about just a little grind on the caliper vs grinding the tie rods.:beer:
sorry guys I didn't take pix as I was doing it. it took me a few tries to get it right but it was worth it in the long run.
Success!
Man that looks perfect I really want this set up on my 04 tr. will 15/8 be a ill easier and with less grinding... I'm trying to put on a set with minimal modification.. Thanks and it looks great
Same thing here but I also did not like the looks of the grinded down toe links , so I ordered ftbr bum steer kit with their toe links . Lot less grinding .
Think I have 6.5 backspacing though with 15x10 and 28/10.5/15 et drags
