15" Drag Wheel Set Up
Is anyone running these wheels from Jegs? https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/66178/10002/-1
Also what is the backspacing/offset your are getting away with on your drag setup? The ones I am looking at are 15x8 with 5.5 inch back spacing and 27mm offset. Also are there any GM OEM 15inch wheels that work on C4s well as drag wheels?

Derad, I have the SUMMIT Drag Thrust wheels on my C4 front and back. I have the 561-5461P on the front along with a skinny drag Hoosier the tire set's flush with the outer edge of the fender well. I have the same wheel style on the rear in an 8", they fit very well regarding offset, look. The only issue you will have is with the brake caliper. I had to grind off the fin's about a 1/4 - 3/8 of an inch to great proper clearance.
