Race Star Wheels

[gizz8699]

Is anyone running the race star wheels on there 500? 15/10 (rear) 17/4.5 (Front). If so,did you have any issues with the front wheels fitting? I know the rear needs relocation of sway bar, but curious about the front wheels. I was told by HTP Motorsports that they fit but i think I saw somewhere they needed a 1" spacer to fit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting mine in tomorrow. I will post up pics. The only negative thing I have heard is they are a pain to put on with the offset washer design.

That link is to a BBR thread not a LP thread and it's nearly a year old.

LP doesn't carry Racestars

Did you get the wheels yet?:burnout:

The rear's may need a spacer depending on tire selection

Yes I did! I had the tires mounted today. I am installing them tomorrow. I got mine from htp(http://www.htpmotorsports.com/cars.html) give them a call if any one is interested in a set. Looking forward to seeing how they look on the car and running it this weekend with them. I will get some pics up when they are on the car. Mine should look a lot like the one above:banana:

I was thinking 325/50/15 rear and 185/55/17 front for tires. Will this be fine you think without needing a spacer?

I dont think you should. I've never heard of anyone needing a spacer. a few guys chose to run on for the look only.

I had to use a spacer because the 325's were rubbing the frame/ inner wheel house where it sticks out a little at the 12 o'clock position.

So how do you like the wheels? Did you need any spacers? Do you have any pics? Sorry for all the questions just curious,because I really like these wheels. Thanks for the info.

Maybe its a 2010-2011 on Racestar thing.

Front's I got new from the classifieds section and the rears I bought direct.
