Looking to order weld RTS's for my drag setup. Prob 15x10 and 17x4 1/2. Anyone know what BS i will need (7 1/4?)? What lugs i will have to order? And the best place to order from? Also looking for direct drill. Thanks for the info guys
About to order RTS's, need info.

7.5 BS on the rear, make sure you let them know you have brembo's so they get the right pad spacing for the fronts, think it's a medium. should be able to order the correct lugs along with the rims when you order them.

I haven't found anybody who has them in stock. Ordered a set about a month ago and still haven't got them yet
Good to know buddy, may have to go with a darkstar or similar. Thanks :beer:
Weld has an application guide on their site. It's kind of hard to find but I've stumbled across it.. think the fronts are high pad for brembos. The Weld nuts are cheap, pick up McGards or similar. I got mine from beef, they took over a month to get made and shipped out, almost a custom order item. The 17's might be acorn lugs but my front 15's are short shank mag.
Weld's are usually built to order. We have the 15x10s and 15x4's here in polished though. Black are on order/ building.
The wheel you need in 17 is (Weld RT-S 17x4.7 1.90 Back space -24mm Offset)
This one is designed for the Brembo or big brake applications.
All Weld wheels are direct fitment. They do not and will never use the uni-lug style. Perks of an American made wheel that is Billet Aluminum and is SFI & DOT approved.
The 17s are also designed to run acorn style lug nut. We recommend using a open end acorn lug nut (the ones that came on a 96-98 mustang)
The 15s require a shank style shorty that's a 12mm x 1/2
I bought a set of RT-S Black 17" wheels two weeks ago from JPC and got them last week. Took seven days from the day I ordered them to the day they arrived.
These are the lug nuts they sold me to go with the fronts. They're a closed end and seem to be working fine.

The rears were purchased from someone and he sent me some shank style open ended lug nuts that seem to be working on the rears. These are the ones I'm using on the rears and are the correct ones as confirmed by Weld.

High Pad on the front for sure. My brother had to grind his non-brembo brakes on his 11 GT. I got the high pads on my non brembo 12 GT and they have plently of clearance.
