Default weld pro stars on the street...good idea?

I'm thinking about buying some pro stars for my camaro. How bad are they on the street? I know having the skinnies up front is gonna kill handling but how bad is it? It's just a weekend car. I love the look of pro stars!

15x4's up front. I'll have 15x10's on the back the 4th. I DD my car aswell.

Use 5/16 spacer with ARP 3.25 studs up front. You don't need to grind at all then. The rear is a different story. You need to grind a good amount.

Been driving on em every day for a year. If anything the only thing I noticed is it rides a bit smoother due to the fat sidewalls

I have 3.5/10's Prostars and have no problem, and it's my DD too! If you're used to skinnies you'll be okay...EVEN IN THE RAIN!

Skinnies are sweet in the snow. I also drive my car with 15x10s/15x3.5s. Just corner slow and brake earlier. You get used to it.
