I just picked up a set of four of these bad boys from fleabay today, so let me know if anyone wants the other two. They weigh only 13.1lbs, and I plan to smooth the lips back out, and plasti dip mine. I will do the other two for free to sweeten the deal.

I do have a question though, do we need spacers to run these, and if so, what size?

Evolved8

Siz and specs?

LOCO 05' E55

Great wheels and extremely light
You will need a 15mm-17mm and off course with that comes getting yourself longer bolts as well, 2" long should do. Not sure you are aware of the bolt diameter being smaller on these wheels...so you will need to grind these holes a bit to fit your bolts..

And last but not least, these bad boys WILL turn on your DR's
So get yourself a "bead lock" kit

Good Luck and stay thirsty my friend

Is there a big benefit running these with DR's over running DR's with the stock 18s?

Those are 16"?

Lighter, less rotational mass farther away from the center. Maybe a small gearing benefit depending on tire size.

They are 16x7 with a 37mm offset. As mentioned above, you need to drill the holes in the rims to fit the plump e55 lugs which takes about 5 minutes per wheel. You also need to pick up a set of spacers.

Only thing I am unaware of is the bead lock kit, did you get that from Summit, and do you have a part #?
Where do you get the longer lugs from?

tbal

Makes sense, thanks!

I feel the biggest difference going from 20s to 18s, I could only imagine how 16s would feel lol

Its no required to take this step until you actually mark your tire and rim at the track..also track must be hooking real hard for this to occur.
To bead lock them you need a Drill bit and pick whichever screw size you want. I got mine from local store.

chawkins2001

Shardul had mentioned that you need 20mm, anyone have real world experience on spacer size, and where to get the longer bolts?

LOCO 05' E55

Hard to tell from this video but they turned on the tire during this launch and screwed my 60'..this was before bead locking them

I can check for you when i get home, i haven't been using them so i cant remember. Will check The source for the bolts.

chawkins2001

Thanks buddy! My term that I am used too in the mustang world is, drilling the rims, and I am familiar

Just watched your video, shyte, you were rolling out brother. What gear selection did you use in the water box and what is your exhaust combo. She sounds raw bro
