15" rear wheels

will 15" clear stock rear brakes on our S197's?

Bogart makes some that will clear. LethalPerformance.com sells them. They're a bit pricey, but they're the only ones currently in production that fit. Weld XP's are discontinued, but if you can find them used, they will fit. Both need a rear sway bar relocation done. Weld is supposed to be working on some S197 specific ones, but nothing is available yet.

I will watch weld and hope they don't take their time with wheels for our cars. I don't understand why the after market, minus wheel companies, have taken to our cars so well and such a simple and popular drag racing part (wheels) gets left out?

I agree 100%. It amazes me. Either they're really having trouble designing a wheel to fit right, or someone is not paying attention well.

Roush sells a rear sway bar relocation kit that will allow 15s to fit, but I don't know if it is any 15 or certain ones

I have a set of the 15" Weld XP's. They don't require swaybar relocation.

Hrmm.. I was thinking they did. Well, that's cool. But they're hard as heck to find.

So, if you can find Weld XP's, no relocation needed. Otherwise, Bogarts required relocation.
