greg weld wheels

[ujslost]

Might buy these but i gotta know first off.
I am using ranger rotors up front for my 5 lug conversion. Will I be able to run the center caps? their site doesnt say what the inside diameter of the center hole is.

I know there is a problem using these rotors and running cobra wheels and such. But ya can run prostars and draglites. So just wondering before i spend the cash.

They will work

[ujslost]

so they have the larger center hole and the center cap will fit.


care to let me know how you know? I dont wanta buy them and then it not work. You know your stuff so I trust ya, but just being cautious.e

[qkjuicedpony]

this is how I know:D:D

[ujslost]

you have ranger front rotors? I didnt know that.
I think I am gonna get the 15x10s with the 6.5 backspacing. Is that what you have?
Hoping my 265 50 15s on my draglites will swap over with no problems.

I have wilwood brakes now.but I did test fit them on a lincoln mark vii rotor and the fit.

I have 8" rear wheels and 275/50 drag radials and no problems

They will fit. :nice:

[qkjuicedpony]

They will fit. :nice:


This guy knows too:D:D

[ujslost]

so you guys dont suggest 10 inch wheels?
reason I thought about 10 inch is if for some reason i want to. I could put them on my 97gt later or something. And that thing needs a 10 inch wheel.

[qkjuicedpony]

a 10" with 6.5" means you have to beat the shit out of your inner fenders

[ujslost]

oh f that then

[coupe]

:werd: And I don't think they make a 10" with a 7.5" backspace...that would work too. :D Or narrow the axle housing and get shorter axles...
get the picture?

The 8" wheel will hold enough tire to run 8's.

OK well I gotta decide now if I want the dragstars or the summit prostar look alikes! I like both. But the having to buy special lugnuts for the greg welds is really putting a cramp in the ol budget. Plus having to hunt up the 5 lug swap for the rear. I love the look of the prostar, but the greg welds are alot lighter from what I read on summit. Err this sux big time.

Err this sux big time.

you can just send me the money and then you won't have to worry about it. :D

[ujslost]

Or.............














No!

It's not the special lugnuts...it's the special washers. I reused the lugs from my prostars (shank-style McGard lugs) but had to buy some offset/eccentric washers since the hole is not concentric with the recessed area.

What he said.

[ujslost]

wow never seen an eccentric washer on a wheel! kinda like a fuel pump eccentric or camber bolt eccentric!
reckon the lug nuts are cheaper at a local chain store and if i can buy the washers seperate?
