Question About Welds Wheels On An L

hey guys
I was just wondering
I've heard of a few of you running Weld Wheels on your "L"s
but how did you get them to fit ?

I actually Called up Weld when I first got the truck and was interested in a set for mine, and the Tech told me none of their wheels would fit on a Lightning

Which Welds come with the right bolt pattern/backspacing for you to fit on the L ??

Up To what size fits ??
I was looking at the 18" Pro Star XPs for daily driving, and getting a matching pair in 16" sizes for the track

Would They fit ?
Anyone Got them ?
Thanks

Josh

Weld Pro Stars or Drag lites. 16X10 or 16X8 in a 5X135mm lug pattern will fit.

only the regular prostars and draglites ?
only in the 16" sizes ?

I was hopin to get the 18's for driving around everyday and just dropping the rear 2 to 16's at the track if I could...

Anyone got pics of their L sitting on the Drag Lites or Prostars ??
I'd like to see how they look on the truck if possible

Thanks Josh

Thats what I was thinking myself LeeAnn
I thought the ProStar XPs would look good on the truck
Just kinda flipped me out when the Weld Tech told me they didnt make anything to fit on a Lightning

I looked at them on the website
They offer the ProStar XP in a 16x8, 17x8, 17x9.5, and 18x8, 18x9.5 in the 5x135mm pattern......should I go with 4 18's for daily driving, and 2 16x8's for track use ? or just look serious with 16x8's at all times ? I only have intake and catback exhaust so far....I dunno if I'll be able to back up the total look of the 16's at all corners all the time...lol

If you got the money to spend, I would go with the 18s for driving and 16s for the track.

lol... Nothing wrong with looking serious though and not being able to back it up.... Believe me, I know
