    Your not getting a 15 inch wheel on a 14 inch rotor. It actually says 18 inch or larger wheels. Im concerned about the drop spindles.

    M/t 295/17 drag radials on rear….. it will roast the street tires too easily…. if I had another chance I think I would be better with a 18 inch wheel much better tire selection for 18 rim

    Thats exactly the setup I want for my car but I dont think I have enough space in the rear to get a 295 on the car I had a 275-40-20 on the rear before and that was all it would take. I think im going to go 18's this time.
