Thanks everyone for any help in advance

so....you're saying the centercaps are hitting the front wheel bearing dust caps?

if so, man that kinda sux! I've already ordered a set, mine should be here late next week.

Please keep us posted.

the center cap was hitting the grease cap. the grease cap is metal so i just flattened it out with a hammer until the rim would sit flush, it worked fine. I also used my 1/4 inch spacers, but it didnt need them

[GNAT87]

Not sure about the weight check the billet specialties website they are listed on there but they are pretty light...thanks for the opinions

[bluehair]

beautiful. just awesome. what size and tire combo and backspacing did you go with? only thing i would like is if they came in 4" fronts...

BackSpacing=3.5 on the 15 by 8's

AWSOME! Thanks for posting the pics.

I've also ordered 15x8 rears but 15x7 fronts since my car rarely sees the track. ordered them with 3.5" b.s. front and rear.

[jasjamz]

Very Very Nice!!

[WSLN 6]

Here is my new 15x10 with 5.5 bs





Not shown are the bolt on center caps

[Grumpy]

wow !!!! I need a set GNAT87 do they stick out in the rear ??? have any rear shots?? is the car sitting up in the rear because it was jacked up and hasn't been driven yet ?? ..... I need to "try" different backspacing for another car ... who has a 10" rim with a 6" backspace

[GNAT87]

They sit about flush with the edge of the fender well maybe a tad further but not much and its sitting up in the back because of the air in rear bags i believe...I will work on getting pics of the rear tomorrow and post them
Thanks

Looks great!! I just sold my Pro-Stars and want to order these also. C'ourse the wife thinks im nuts and they look the same as the Welds I just sold Women...

[we-4brett]

pics do this one NO justice!!!!!!!!

[Greybeard]

Very nice. Does anyone know if they will work with a 5/8-inch drive stud (Mark Williams or Strange)?

The Billet street lites do look sharp. Now I am am torn between them and these: https://centerlinewheels.com/wheel_d...ehicle&data=86

Pushed the date back till 2-12-08

Here is a couple picts of my dads T Type with his new Billet Specialties wheels taken on my cell phone in crappy weather the other day. They just came in from Billet...had been on order since the middle of Dec! The rears 15x8 4.5 back space with Hoosier Quick Time Pros 28x10. Front 15x6 3 back space with BF 205/70s for the street since the car is driven to the track.

I have added dust covers on the front and back...not sure Im gonna stick with them or take them off. Not sure if I like not being able to see through the wheel...at least on the rears anyway. What do you guys think??

Car was out once last year and posted a 10.61@129 on et streets, full exhaust and the a/c still blows cold Hope the new wheels will make it faster

[at7we2]

VERY NICE!!!

I'm still considering buying a set of those. just can't make up my mind.

[XXQUICK6XX]

How did you get the center caps on the fronts. mine are a 1/2" too shallow?

[Heavy D]

I think your dads T looks bad ass. I really like those wheels, and the tires fill up the wheel wells nicely, both front and rear. I guess I gotta get off my checkbook and order me a set

[Limited87]

Thanks at7we2 dont think you will be disapointed if you do.

XXQUICK6XX must be something to do with the width of your fronts. I see you said you got the 15x3 1/2s and these are the 15x6 inch width version. I had to wait on these a month longer than the rears...maybe something they knew they had to correct before they let any more out.


Heavy D thanks for the compliment! He will appreciate it! He really likes the new look over his Welds pro stars. I was told by the sales guy at Summit that the price on these were going up soon...$230-$240 was an into price to see how much interest they were gonna get so you might want to pull the trigger sooner than later. As far as the tires they are a true 28 inch tall by 10 and the 205/70 measures 27 inch tall to help off set the 2 inch taller rear height.

Any other questions feel free to ask guys.

[XXQUICK6XX]

I got the 15x4 fronts?

Your Dads Car looks very Nice with these Wheels. You are saying Front 15x6 3 back space I see the 15x6 3 1/2 listed in Jegs. On the 15x8s 4.5 how much spacer did you use. One the 28x10 Quick Time Pros. All i see in Jegs is the
28x11.5-15 Quick Time Pros. I wanted to see if you could Clear this up for me
Did order those wheels right from Billet my they could bulid some wheels with some custom BackSpacing.
Again Car looks grate with those Wheels
