If i was going to buy a set of these 13x8 for my M&H tires, what backspacing would i need on my EK? Im always confused with backspacing and offsets and crap.

anyone?

 

Those are not drag wheels. Your better off with the Lenso's.

 

yea i would just get some lensos too

 

4" or 5" backspacing generally works

with the 5" it will pull the wheels into the wheel well a bit more and depending on what brakes you run you may have to run a spacer for caliper clearance

4" will offer a bit better clearance but sticks the wheels out of the wheel well more

 

i have a 5 inch back space on my welds, i havea gsr brakes and still need a lil spacer to clear the caliper, if u have stock brakes it would clear

 

why are you guys saying that these arent drag wheels, these are pretty much identical to the spin werks wheels. Just because they dont say "drag wheels" on the site doesnt mean anything. My lensos are looking mighty beat up, just wanna get a nicer looking wheel without paying 600$ for 2.

The site says this for them

Mini-Stock, Dwarf, Short Track, Autocross Applications

 

well i know that, hell people use lensos in auto cross. did you read the other parts of my post where i said and posted pics showing how the wheels are pretty much the same as spin werks

example

the only difference is steele vs. aluminum

So basically you anwered your own question? People gave you info on backspacing, if you know you can use them as a Drag rim why ask why? lol

It is funny the people asking questions lately on the board are given advice and answers and they argue back so why be in a discussion forum. Geesh

I use 5" backspacing with a 1/2 inch spacer with my Weld Magnums

Edit:Its quite funny everyday on here someone wants to REINVENT THE WHEEL!


Also those things are 14lbs WOW that is heavy for a DRAG RIM. Lensos are 9 lbs, my Welds are 8lbs I believe, the Spinwerkes/Circle same company has Drag rims and I do believe Bisis said they were like 6-7 lbs

If u can use them for drag racing and i really dont see y not then damn thats a good price

 

im sure u can use them for drag, but wouldnt use a 14 pound rim for it, ***** heavy, good luck

 

If your tire spins on your Lenso's just think how much they'll spin on circle track wheels

 

yeah they are kinda heavy thats the only thing that is keeping me from buyin them.

Summit has been selling those for a looong time, If you want a cheap drag rim Lensos. You stated you had some Lensos and they were beat up? Who cares, maybe get them painted, you won't go faster with them looking better

Hey any ricer worth his weight will tell you looks are worth 50-60 whp.

And wouldn't two 14lb wheels help to add weight to the front end for more traction...

Dude you are WAAAY off, it is YELLOW TYPE R STICKERS that add HORSEPOWER!!!!!!!

I agree that a better looking wheel wont do anything BUT, I can't stand for stuff to look like **** on my cars, thats just the way I am, I've always paid lots of attention to small details. So what if i want my drag car to look nice. Im gonna see if i can find someone to professionally powder coat the lensos.
