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:biggrin:

Center cap

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.

Did order those wheels right from Billet my they could bulid some wheels with some custom BackSpacing.

Thanks Jeff. The fronts are the 15x6 with the 3 1/2 bs. That is the only way they are offered. I am using a 5/16 spacer on the rear. The Hoosier Quick Times Pros are the 28x11.5-15s. They measure a true 10.5 tread/road contact. I ordered these from Summit Racing. It took 3 months to get all four of them...I couldnt imagine how long it would take if they would accept custom jobs. I never had any luck in the past or heard of anybody with any luck having the larger companys do custom orders.

Sorry for not given the exacts on the specs...I just generalized real fast when I made that post. Picts are even off my cell phone...lol

we changed the chrome MAF pipe to a blk one and a polished turbo to a "alum" colored and the car went from a 10.10 to a 9.94 !!! SOOOO you know the chrome stuff slows ya down :biggrin:

 

[craggar]

I got the 15x4 fronts?

I got the 15X4's as well and the cap fits no problem.
