i want skinnies-help ok, i've been lookin for quite some time now and i cant seem to find anything. this is what i want:
15x3.5 or 4, light weight, no grinding and no longer studs, just maybe a thin spacer that will work with the stock studs. im not worried about the back right now, just the front. im asking if someone can list ALL my choices, what will have to be done to make it fit, price and weight, if possible. i will consider anything: weld, centerline, bogart, etc. etc. can someone just give me a flat out answer instead of a bunch of bull?

What you're looking at is the setup I'm running
15x3.5" Prostar with 1 3/4" backspacing (165/80 15 tire)
5/16" wheel spacer
Stock style/length wheel studs (although they are an upgraded version on mine)
No grinding
Lug nuts torqued to 100 ft lbs each
I get just as many lugnut turns out of this as I did with the stock wheels. I've been up to ~130 (all the faster I can go with the 3 speed) and back down to a stop, and cruised the interstate at 65-70 mph, and have yet to have a single problem with the wheels

Welds: Grind the calipers or run longer studs and 5/16" spacers
Centerlines: No grinding/spacers required but the offset makes them stick out past the fender
Bogarts: No grinding/spacers but cost alot more than Welds or Centerlines.
