WOW, that looks awesome.

1) where did you order them from
2)specs on the wheels
3) what did you have to do out back to get them to fit

I ordered the wheels from a local shop that just became a distibutor.

sizes are front- 15x3.5 with 1.5 backspace. 5x4.75 lug patern
rear- 15x10 with 7.25 backspace 5x4.75 lugs

front bolt right on with no problems

rears contact the brake hose bolt on the calipers. i just ground the head of the bolt down to about half the thickness it should be. also i had to use a rubber mallet to just slightly bend the metal part of the brake hose down closer to the caliper so the hose did not rub the wheel.

i run drag bags so they keep the rear from squating and hitting the tires. atleast with the 275 40 17's. i havent launched the car yet to see what it does with these. but my shock is in factory location and fender lip has not been cut off or rolled. they stick out they same as the other tires and are the same heighth so i dont see there being a problem.

Awesome. I was going to go with another set of prostars, but i think ill be getting these.
I was more worried about it hitting on the inside more than the outside. Im not worried about mine squatting either

Did you have the fronts made to spec?
The only size I see on their site that is close is a 3.75 with 1.25 BS

These look WAY better on a goat than an F body for some reason.

Any chance you could take one directly from the side and directly down the rear/front of the car?
