Trying to fit a prostar 15x10 on a 82 stang. Looks like it hits right where the rear spring goes. Not sure I can "modify it any more. Any ideas? I'll post some pics tomorrow.

my 15x11.5 ets fit good.. had to roll the lips and beat in a lil area in the back but thats it.
 
Whats your back space? Some guys I know run a small spacer(not sure on size) on the 6.5" backspace rim.
 
They'll fit. I was running Bogarts with 6.25 bs and had to beat just a little. One side needed a small spacer. Now the rear is narrowed 1.5" per side with some Alumastars and a 6" bs...that needed a lot of beating, but now there nice and tucked ;)
 
yeah they will fit, also when the car is at ride height it helps too. if the rear is just hanging there it will rub bad... but a big hammer and some sweat you will get it... and the spacer will get the rest of it, but its best to try and get it without a spacer...
 
set the car down, it looks like its just hangin there... that spring area should actually be near the rim area. and the tire should be over that part... lower the car some and it will fit better..
 
And use a mini sledge...you'll be suprised how far you can move everything with a couple good hits!

So if I'm reading this right a 10" rim with 6.5 b.s. will fit? Do you have to roll the lips to do this?

yeah it fits. you will have to roll the lips in most cases. i have seen some where yu didnt have too but the ride height was wierd... i have also seen a 28x10.5w tire go in a stock wheel well opening too. so you can make shit work just need a big fucking hammer
 
Well its been hammered for sure but no wheel lip rolling. It just might be somthing I need to do in time. 8" rim with a 28 Et street is not getting good enough 60ds.(1.49-1.5x) Plus if we find the missing HP and it make more MPH I not sure I want to go over 140 on a 8" rim. hehe I'm still learning the car but could never leave over 10lbs of boost off the brake. I'll see what happens next year. I still have a lot to learn with the new combo.

we ran 93 blowers car with a 28x9 last year and had good luck with it. it would hang the tires high on the street, by the end of the year though at ubly they were on the way out and were not working all that great. but it went like 1.5s or something like that.
 
Ahhhhhhhh, the "Other" 1993 Electric Currant Red (EG ) Notch....
