Ok so thanks to a member on another forum I found a company that makes 15X10s with the correct backspacing as the cragars are not right. Here is the website, www.diamondracingwheels.com : Trucker SeriesIll be calling them tomorrow! Ok guys help me out, I'm going to do a drum conversion to run 15s if when I get the wheels I decide too much grinding is required. Do I need to run drum axles or will my disc axles work? Also I'm going to put some drag radials on the 15s for the street. But I have a predicament. My current drag setup is 28x10x16 Hoosiers on narrow 7" stock wheels. Do I also buy some 16x10s for those to get more contact patch which I really need or do I get another set of 15x10s and sell the current drag setup and buy 15" slicks?? My slicks prolly have around 20 passes on them at most.

Trucker series are way heavier...I think Bill set me up with the Pro/challenger? Center is 1/4" stamped and hoop is .095 so plenty strong for this use, they make the trucker style for Crandon off road type race trucks, .135 thick...overkill.
7" b/s on my 15x10 gives about 3/4 inch to the leaf spring with 28x10.5 ET Drags.
The axle should be the same but you may have a hard time finding just the brake parts without buying the whole axle, would be way easier to swap the axle and sell your old one than have to pull shafts on two axles just to swap parts and fab lines etc.
