15" Wheels for the BBK

Thanks guys. I'll dust off the square and get the measurements. BTW the SA-70's are very light, ~12lbs. Still need the BBK for the Road Course.

Mount the brakes on the car and lay the long leg of the square over the flat face of the hub. This will take some doing because of the raised center for the centric mounting of the wheel. Putting a machined spacer would work here too. Rotate the hub with the square to find the furthest distance. Measure that distance to the center of the hub and add an eighth of an inch for clearance. Then you go shopping.

Word of advice…find the lightest wheels you can…lighter means less material – thinner sections = larger diameter. I’d start with Enkei Enkei Wheels : 2009 Race & Tuning Series

here's better advise

get some volks

lol i wish money grew in trees (as opposed to the cotton fields!!)
