We got a set of 15x10 Weld wheels with MT DRs 325/50/15 on my car along with 17x5 Welds with skinnies on the front. We raced it at the Fest this past weekend.

Looks awesome! I saw 10.0@147 on a 1.5 I think in another thread.

Best time was 10.067 sec. Best mph was 143.

We were running only on waste gate springs with no boost controller yet. It was strictly a test and tune weekend for us. The car was started for the first time on Thursday, tuned at midnight and hauled to Indy and raced on Friday and Saturday. We have identified several places we can make some adjustments in the car to make it better. Hoping to be in the 9s next time out.

We qualified second and took third in the V8 Unlimited Heads Up class at the Fest.

I'm very happy with how it went and was thrilled to have my car at the Fest.

Nice you might be running an 8 or 9 lb spring I'm guessing?

We were running about 12 psi and a very conservative tune. Once we get the car dialed in a bit more and improve our launches our times should improve.

any details on the rear brake setup?

Irnwkrkev · 08-06-2012, 06:15 PM

Or control arm set-up?

You can order the LCAs you need from IPS Motorsports. They're new.

In fact, you can order the whole kit you need to put 15s on your car from IPS. They are putting together an LCA, brakes, and trailing arm package you need in order to do it. The kit performed flawlessly on my car this weekend.

Here is a pic.

This is a pic with my 20s on the car, but the 15s fit fine too.

Holy shit that looks good!

blackonblacksls · 08-06-2012, 09:36 PM

Will they be selling or modding factory hubs to fit the c5 brakes?

They did have to drill my hubs to attach the brakes. You'd have to call them to ask. I will try to remember to ask them next time I'm there.

So I guessing these 15" wheels will NOT fit over factory Brakes?

No they will not fit over the Brembo brakes on an SS.
