Default Will these 15" wheels fit on my s2k

We are building my s2k to a full drag s2k
I am planning on running Weld Racing 15" wheels on the way around

here are specson front wheels:
Rim Diameter (in): 15 in.
Rim Width (in): 3.50 in.
Backspacing (in): 1.250 in.
Offset (mm): -25.00mm
Rim Material: Forged aluminum
Center Material: Forged aluminum
Wheel Finish: Polished
Lug Nut Seat Style: Shank
Wheel Construction: 3-piece

Here are specs on rear wheels:
Rim Diameter (in): 15 in.
Rim Width (in): 10.00 in.
Backspacing (in): 8.000 in.
Offset (mm): +65.00mm
Rim Material: Forged aluminum
Center Material: Forged aluminum
Wheel Finish: Polished
Wheel Construction: 3-piece

If I need to put spacer on the front wheels to make the clear the brake calipers that is cool

If anyone has any rear info the rear though that would be much appreciated as I need it to clear, if they dont clear the rear I can get less offset backspace and will just have to run a bigger fender flare so the tires dont stick out

Here is a pic of what the wheels will look like for those who are wondering

you have an ap1..

wheels r 16" w/ flat behind spoke (monoblock wheel has the mounting divot under spoke)

look at rear wheel at the bolt for the lower control arm into the hub

its about 3/8" off the wheel..

these wheels have a 15" inside diameter. and your 3/8" off the wheel

now your trying to put 15" wheels with step lip (mounting divot is in middle) these wheels have 13.5" inside diameter.. ok.. so the change is 3/4" and the space you had was 3/8 so your about 3/8" into the wheel.. the wheel wont even fit on the hub.

so a more complex answer for your simple question that could be solved by looking at the car.

these wheels were made for mustangs and other pos.. hence the USDM sizing. find a wheel that uses mm for sizing and use them or custom fab a spacer for these to work.

your welcome

Ohh yah btw I dont have my car at my shop right now it is at my transmission guy who is custom building the turbo400 tranny for the car, sorry I cant just go and take 5 seconds to look at it....

Only gay thing is there is only 1 pair of slick for the 16" wheels and the stock wheels 7.5" wide in rear will be a bit dangerous with a 10.5" tread width slick....

if that is the case looks like my options are
shell over $800 a wheel for customs
Shell over $100 a wheel to have the stockers cut and made wider

Consturct new lower control arms for the added room for the 15" wheels in the rear

some people have this idea that usdm stuff is made poorly, sorry to say but from an manufactures view most over seas stuff is very poorly designed and has even worse quality

trivium

when you look at the VIN # on ur car.. notice the first letter

J

=japan made

these wheels u can see from the sizing are united staes made and made for domestic cars.. which have drums in the rear and all kinds of crap.

not for Japan made cars.

dont get into the logistics of every word i say

these wont fit.

custom 16" wheels arent 800$ each.. u can order Sp1R's 16x10 for like 400$
