Default Pro Stars What size to buy

Im thinking about ordering a set of pro stars for the trans am. Im just going to get the rear at the moment and a set of slicks. Just wondering what the proper size to buy would be as i do not know anything about this type of wheel and tire combo.

I had 15x10s. You probably want the 7.5" backspacing. However, I got the 6.5" because IMO it looks better on the T/As because the rear 1/4 panels are wider. With 275/50s, the tire was dead even with the edge of the fender.

So the 15x10 with 6.5 backspacing will bolt right on with no problems?

You'll still have to do some grinding on the calipers to clear them, but you'll have to grind them some to fit any Prostar.
