Buying wheels, but need help
I am going to buy front and rear rims. I am going with Weld Racing ProStars from summit. I want skinnies in the front and and a nice set up in the back. I want to know what bolts I will need and the exact tire/rim sizes I will need with out any rubbing. I have a stock suspension rear and front. No drag bags.
Can I do this set up?15x3.75 with 1.5 backspace. 5x4.75 lug patern in front and rear it will be 15x10 with 7.25 backspace 5x4.75 lugs
Bolt sizes?
Spaceing?
Size diameter?

The fronts will work.
The rears, you'll need to do some work. Hammering, remove dust shield for the rear shock.
You'll need longer studs for the front or rear, cant remember. I replaced all of mine.
As far as lugs go, the jegs/summit version of the prostars has a conical seat to them so you can just reuse your stock lugs instead of ******* around with shanks.
The best thing for the rears would be a 15x8 5.5 BS.
Even better than that would be a 15x9 with a 6.75 BS but thats not offered on thise wheels.

Yeah the studs you can get from jegs/summit
ARP #100-7708 (rear)
ARP #100-7717 (fronts)
Like I said, the 15x9 will be your best bet if youre wanting to not touch the suspension or cut the fender lip.
6.75 is what you'll need for the backspacing on those.
But again, I dont think that jegs/summit offers that on their wheels.

Take some time and scroll through the older threads to see which and what fit and worked for others

Also back to the spring thing.....our cars are known for rear spring sag....for instance on my 04 I got a set of Eibach 1.2" lowering springs all around and the drop springs actually raised yhe back of my car 3/4" the stock springs were so bad
