Looking to see Drag Star or Drag Lite wheels on a 67-72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RatPwrd72 · 04-16-2005, 02:21 PM

I'm thinking about going with Cragar Drag Star's or Weld DragLite's on my '72 LWB. Probably 15x10's out back and 15x8's up front. Anybody have any pics of this setup? Thanks.

ratrod67 · 04-16-2005, 05:24 PM

15X8 front and 15X10 rear with Mickey Thompson Sportsmans. I have 4 inch drop springs in the back now but still need to install my spindles and springs in front.

Thanks for the pics guys. RatRod, where did you buy your wheels at? Most places only show them offered in the car bolt pattern.

some pics of my red 71 w/ welds 6s on the front 12s on the back

Wow BrownDawg, that looks really sharp. What size tires are you running?

71Dragtruck · 04-17-2005, 12:43 PM

BrownDawg, you have any pics from the front corner? I 'm looking at getting a set of draglite's for my 71, and I'd like to see how the stance on the front looks with 15x6's. I don't want them inset into the fenderwell too much, if you know what I meen. Also wondering what offset your front rims are? Right now I have AutoDrags 15x8 with a shallow offset, it gives it a wide stance, but I'm not going for that look any more. I'm turning it into to prostreet look, Quick time Pro's on the back, and going to a narrow front tire.

Front is 2" drop coils that turned out more like 3", the back is 4-linked and set to a slight rake with 28" tall tires. I'd say it's about 3 to 3-1/2" on the back, never measured to tell you the truth.

71 Drag,
You want to sell those wheels?
Thanks!
doc

If you go to my truck page (in my signature) I have 15x8's up front and 15x 10's in the back.

Once I line up a new set they will be for sale. I live in Canada, so it's likely not worth the trouble for you.

browndawg71 · 04-18-2005, 02:45 PM

front tires are 215 -75 -15s and the backs are 28-14.5s. i think the front wheels are 3 in backspacing. i bought them from summit they has the sizes in stock.

68_GMC · 06-17-2006, 07:50 PM

These are a new wheel that has just come out... Its a 6lug wheel 15x8 in front 15x10 in the back... All 1 piece wheel made by Pacer. They are alot thicker then drag lights... You get the look plus safety

JayG · 06-19-2006, 03:01 PM
