15" Wheels
El Gringo:
I saw some of the pictures they posted, they used a five lug wheel and that's why they had to make the adapters. If I knew what to ask for when I went to a salvage yard I'm sure they have something that will work. I really need the ground clearance or I'd just use up the two sets of tires and wheels that I have and be happy. Randy gave me the hole pattern so I guess I'll go measure the backspace and go hunting.
El Gringo:
Well that bombed out, if you don't know which exact car you need a part from, you ain't gonna get it.

El Gringo:
Steve, do those cars have 15" wheels? The backspace is also critical as the stock wheel does not clear the ball joints by much. The stock wheels have 3-1/4" and I don't think even 3-1/2 will clear. Less backspace would probably work but would also be rare. One of my friends had an old Honda Accord that had 4 lug wheels so I'll add that to my search.

No. That is a list of cars that legends and dwarf cars derive some of their parts from (rear ends, front hubs, etc...).
Just for informational purposes; This is the rule on legends car wheels:
"77. WHEELS: Any type of automotive steel wheel that has a 13” diameter, a 7” width and the offset of 3” to 3 1/4” from back rim edge to back of wheel center is permitted."
There is also some information on minimum weight of wheel and tire; But these would not apply for street use. My reason for posting this is so that people know what wheels will likely be on a legends race car.
However; Thunder Roadsters run a Hoosier 26.5/8.0-15 Roadster Edition tire. Their wheel rule only says it has to be "stock delivered new by U.S. Legends Car International".
Perhaps Randy (RPM) can enlighten us on what wheel they use for the Thunder Roadsters.
