Can you guys run 15" slicks on the car? Do the wheels clear?

With OEM brakes 16" wheel is the smallest that will fit on the front and I'd assume on the rear as well.

Anyone consider running a 15" rear wheel with drag slicks?

If you get a truck offset you can run 15's. They stick out the fenders alittle tho. This is with a 26" tall tire.

Fair enough. Obviously I'm just fishing here. Wondering if there any market for the LBK on this car as I've done for the Charger. Smaller rotor, radial mount caliper etc. all designed for the requirement of a 15" wheel. Certainly the wheels above are going to be less costly than the rear kit.

S197 guys are running DraStar wheels.. 17x4.5 or 15x3.75 front, 15x10 rears and seem to be clearing their brakes. A buddy of mine has a set for his S197... Maybe I can borrow then for the day to check fitment on our cars.

What is LBK? I assume it has something to do with drag racing and the brake set up. My best guess is the front brake linelock but wouldn't bet my life on it.:)
