Mine tuck fine.

How are you guys putting the weights on the wheel? I have a very small spot between the lower arm and caliper.

Pro Stock John · 06-10-2016, 03:42 PM

Was suggested I put the weights on the backside of the spokes.

Rear lowered 1.4:

My other rear rims, before I lowered the back of the car:

I've been dying to do this 50%for the bigger tire,50% for the looks. But the issue with doing this is your need atleast 600+HP to back up this look. It'll just be silly if you go to the track and get moped by a GTI pushing 350HP with a tire that big.

^^^^ Pretty sure John isn't getting yanked by a GTI. Great comment though!

Pro Stock John · 06-28-2016, 08:31 PM

Well the car went 10.90@125.5 and I make under 500rwhp.

ET is not just about power it's also about efficiency.

I'm looking for 10.69 or better this year.

Anyway, I did the 15's for a bunch of reasons including looks.

what are you guys running for replacement brake pads for the rear?

Pro Stock John · 07-06-2016, 11:57 PM

Rear pads came with the rear brakes I got from Mark Carlyle.

canecorso69 · 07-07-2016, 02:00 AM

I have Marks kit too but i need to replace my pads.

Dunno let me know what you find.

Reattacking this stream of knowledge here. I have everything needed for the 15" conversion, except the brakes. I'd be really interested in doing V6 brakes instead of paying 600+ for new rear brakes. Can anyone chime in and give parts/part numbers for swapping rear SS brakes for V6 brakes that will clear a 15" wheel? Thanks!
