    I want to lose the 4 lug on the rear of my car and go 5 lug, however, I plan to keep the 4 lug up front due to the race brakes I have there. I need a 15x12 for the rear with a 6.5 bs probably, and a 3.5 or so front rim in 4 lug. I looked at race star and they make them but their backspace is all way too deep. The 9 in is just too wide due to the stock suspension setup. Show me some ideas. My fingers are tired of searching.

    I'm a huge fan of the Weld RTS wheels but man they are pricey in that rear size. Not sure you're going to find anything that has a matching 4 lug front runner though. How much would you have to change to make the fronts 5 lug?

    Weld RT S 15x12 with 6.5" backspacing - part number 927-71LB-512A65A
    Weld Draglight " " - part number 927-90-512042

    Thanks,I like them too. The fronts are probably impossible to change out because it was a custom built setup. Years ago, there was a mustang specialty company called ground pounder, it was a sister company to central coast mustangs, now both long gone. The owner put this kit together using parts from wilwood and other manufacturers along with a custom made bracket. I would need a 5 lug hub as well as a 5 lug hat for the rotor in the proper offset. Not sure all that is possible, but I guess it is worth a try.

    Thanks, that is a good option although a bit pricey.

    You can get these wheels in four lug.

    they only have the matching rears in 15”x10” though.
    The fronts runners will work with non matching rears IMO. I posted these wheels a while ago, others did not seem to like them, I do. I have purchased a couple of sets of wheels from lmr with good results.

    Thank you. I've toyed with just running racestar 4 lug front runners and then getting a higher dollar set of 15 x 12 rears.

    I have a set of billet specialties 15x12 or 15x13, my rear is narrowed so not sure if they would work? If u want I can verify them tomorrow. I think I have 450$ in them.

    Let's talk about the stamped stained concrete driveway to look like a hard wood floor. Wow!

    I thought you wanted 4 lug because of your front brakes.

    At first, yeah, just for the fronts. But since I found all the parts on Wilwood's website to switch to 5 lug, I'm just going all 5 lug and selling the Bogarts.
