15-16" Street & Strip Wheels + Tires

[STAINLESS again plz]

So im after a set of street & strip rims and tires.... Really liking the look of 15x10 convo pro's on the rear and 15x8 on the front...

What do I need to look for as far as offset, back spacing, stud pattern etc when purchasing?

Cars a tray back fg turbo ute with stock brakes. Tray can be modified to suit if rears have to creep outwards at all, would actually prefer if they did.

Once that's sorted, whats a good street strip shoe to suit this 15x10 15x8 combo? Its sitting as low as legal on 20"s atm...

And where should I go in vic?

P.s I like the convo's but am open to suggestion as its 99% street car an 1% strip... but that 99% is just wheel spin.

dude pretty sure 15" dont fit over ya stock brakes .... look at steelies or RIDDLER 17" pro stars for that drag look ...

[STAINLESS again plz]

was getting that impression... but also heard around otherwise, with 8mm spacers or what not...

am now lookin at 17s but cant find somethin in 10" rear in the drag look...

I have some EL steelies in 15", bolted one on for a look last week and it clears.

[STAINLESS again plz]

are b series brakes smaller?

15's wont fit on the rear you need to grind the calipers to make them fit highly illegal

[STAINLESS again plz]

15s are illegal anyway so legality is non issue for me.

But grinding calipers is somethin I dont wanna do.

Problem is im hearing yer they fit the back but not the front from VPW and hearing other stories from other people.

Round 2 mods are in the pipelines and will be chasing 400rwkw. Would love to get these wheels if possible. If not then oh well. Find somethin else.

I have just fitted some 15x7 to my BA MK2 with PBR PK8 upgrade kit to the rear wheels. Did not have to grind the calipers with this brake setup to get them to fit. My rims might be strange as they state they are 15x6 but must have been widened to 15x7. They do have a FORD stamp on them. I have painted them silver and fitted some 235/60 R15 Mickey Thompson ET street radials to them. Just need some help to find the local drag strip now........

I have 16" stockie rims widened 3 yrs ago , your maybe better off going to a 15 inch rim, that way if your ever want to run full slicks, then its much easier and cheaper to purchase a 15".
