I am wanting to et some 15" rims for some drag radials ..ca anyone tell me the off set you need? I think the size I need is 15"x10 and anyone know a good place to find some real cheap

I think you have to shave the brake calipers to make 15s fit on an f body. Not sure about which ones though.

i'd recommend against a wheel that makes you gring the calipers, if you're using the car on the street.

Sorry, I can't help with the off set.

To keep from having to grind the calipers, go with Greg Weld Wheels. They will clear. Not sure if the 10" wide wheels have hit the market yet, you'll have to check stock once you get the correct offset.
