quick weld wheels and hoosier tires question

Will these fit my 94 Z28 with no problem? Are these good sizes to go with? Will they bolt on and go? I know I'll have to get longer wheel studs but is that it? I was also wondering if you can drive these to the track? Thanks!

Re: quick weld wheels and hoosier tires question

if he used them on his Camaro,then they will fit on yours (the wheels anyway).

those quick times are 11.5"s wide,not sure if those will fit under your car w/o wheel well modifications. ask him what he did to his to make them fit.

yes you can drive those to the track,they are Hoosier Quick Time Pro's,in other words,they have just enough tread on them to make them DOT legal.

hope this helps

Does anyone know if they are too wide? He doesnt know too much about them.

Re: quick weld wheels and hoosier tires question

Depends on the wheel backspace. He indicates he measured the backspace and it is 8". That can't be right, because the Draglites and Pro-Stars only come in 5.5", 6.5", 7.5". They don't make anything larger than 7.5" in the 15x10 wheel.

Your 4th Gen needs a 15x10 7.5" backspace to fit correctly. If he can confirm the backspace is actually 7.5", since they came off a 98 F-Body, they will be fine.

I ran 28x11.5-15 QTP's on my 94 Formula, and they fit fine as far as rubbing.... but the inner fenders had already been hammered for 315's. I had also cut the outer edge off the jounce bumper bracket, so I don't know if the inside of the Weld will catch on it. The 28's were also a problem with "growth" when trap speeds went over 120-125mph, but the 27's will not have that problem.

They may be DOT legal.... but just hope that it doesn't rain while you are driving them to the track. They will be slipperier that goose ****. And, the sticky tread picks up every stone on the road and hurls it into your paint. I live 6 mile from Englishtown Raceway Park (NJ) and drove the car to the track.

You are also going to have to grind the calipers to get the 15" rear wheels to fit. The fronts will fit fine though.
