I run pro-stars all around. Not very expensive and they look great. For a stock length axle, get the 15x8 w/ 5.5 BS or the 15x10's with 7.5" BS. Up front I like the 15x5's for the street with 3.5" BS. You will need a spacer for both fronts and backs or if you grind the backs you can run without. I've done both.

I've heard a lot of people like the 15x3.5's w/ 1.75 BS and no spacer but mine looks just as tucked w/ the 15x5's w/ 3.5" bsing and the spacer. I had to do very minor grinding in the front. Hope that helps!

Bogarts are expensive!

I can provide pics of what you need to do if that makes it any easier!

Thanks......what I need is part no#'s for the front and Spacer......they will not give me a wheel for the car

Rears (two options):
15x10's w/ 7.5" backspace: WLD-96-510284
15x8's w/ 5.5" backspace: WLD-96-58280

Fronts (two options):
15x5's w/ 3.5" backspace: WLD-96-55276

I don't think weld recommends 3.5" wide rims for the street but here they are anyways...
15x3.5's w/ 1.75" backspace: WLD-96-54270

Both fronts require a 5/16" spacer:
MRG-2371

The 15x5's w/ the 3.5" backspace are the perfect position in the wheel-well with the spacer. They also require very minor grinding of part of the caliper mounting bracket (even w/ the spacer) but it's just extra metal that serves no purpose so it's not going to be a risk for a catostrophic brake failure or anything along those lines.

Hope that helps!

Thanks *I'm not using the car for street duty anymore :-D

[LTLHOMER]

Well if that's the case...narrow rear 3", use 15x10 w/ 5" backspace, and really have a nice looking 'tuck.' That's on my 'to do' list! :)
