Default Summit Star Wheel

Can anybody give me a part # for these rims in a 15 X 10 and a 15 X 4. I want to order a set but cant figure out the Backspacing, everybody says use a 7.5 bs and they only show up to a 4.5bs. Any help please also bs for the 15 X 4. Thanks

Im pretty sure only the 15x8 summit stars will work. I dont think anyone has used a 15x10 summit star as they dont come with enough backspace.

Yeah, you can only get the 15X8 with 5.5 bs unless you have a narrowed rearend.

i'm in the process of putting some on my 98Z, i've got new pads and new drilled and slotted rotors so i've grinded a little up front cause i don't want to run a spacer, the rears fit with very little grinding, i haven't got the tires mounted yet, i was just fitting them right now, i will get them mounted saturday and i'll post some pics, nice wheel for the price, 15x4 front w/165-80-15 tire, 15x8 rear w/5.5" BS...275-50-15 MT drag radial...oh yeah BS for the 15x4 is 1.75"
part# for 15x8 5.5" BS....sum-521-5862PS
part# for 15x4 1.75" BS...sum-521-5461PS

I kinda doubt it. The holes for the lugs are recessed into the wheel and have the 60* conical seat to them. They do make a conical style lug that has as slight shank on it that could be used, they cost quite a bit more than the regular acorns though.

You could run a lugnut similar to this...



Thats what I was planning on running with longer studs, just install them with the deep narrow socket, should work fine.

Not to ***** the post, but my car had the same rear wheels/tires on it last season and it made 422 rwhp and would dead hook on those tires. With my puny 3500 converter and 3.42s with an MS3 cam and ported TEA heads it would cut consistent high 1.7 60's on the footbrake launching off idle.
