Default wheel question

Im planning on switching my 17's for 15's and im wondering if they will clear the brakes. Also, what is the skinniest size wheel I can run In the front and what backspacing I should use.

bogart makes special designed wheels to clear your brakes...standard 15" dag wheels wont clear your cobra brakes

If you just have a GT the factory brakes fit 15" rims.

Ya, its a gt. Is there a certain width I should run up front? The car is a daily driver.

if you are going to a drag wheel go with a 3.5 inch wheel. IMO everything else looks retarded up front.

a 15"x3.5" weld with a 1.75" bs will work, but you will need longer studs an well as a 5/16" spacer to clear the caliper.
