Why not go with a 17 out back for daily use to match the fronts?

 

because dragtruck.


Yeah, I agree. Easier to find street tire selection in 17.

 

I like the staggered look of the 15/17 and I really like seeing a lot of tire in the rear. The 17's only come in 7" widths or 9.5". So There really wasn't a good tire selection for the 9.5" wheel except for drag radials. Plus the 15" wheel and tires are really cheap.

No one runs a daily driver with 15/17 so people are going to look at me like I'm lost haha

 

I got the axles in from UPS so I threw them in the truck just now. So the rear end is ready to go. Just waiting on 1320 to get the front hubs CNC'd and I'll be officially 5 lug converted. Hopefully I can get the hubs in this week and be driving next week.

 

Pics ?

 

What do you want pics of? I'll snap some tomorrow.

I need to pick up a pinion seal tomorrow so I can get the rear end buttoned back up. Also tomorrow I'll probably order tires and lug nuts so I'm ready to go when the wheels show up. I still need to drill my rotors for the new pattern. Not sure how I'll tackle that yet. Shouldn't be hard though

 

Are you running drum breaks in the rear for the 15s or will disc fit? I remember you having fitting issues with the calipers a few months ago.

 

No I am running disc brakes. I took care of the fitment issue by making caliper mounting brackets. I'm selling them in the member made section on this site. You can check out that thread or just click on the link in my sig to see it. It has pictures and a description.

 

Oh wow just checked it out. Great craftsmanship!

 

Thanks! Good to see other people having good luck with them too.
