Default what size spacer?

I have a set of prostars and was wondering what size spacer are used for the front 4 in. rim and what I should use on the back 15 by 10. I was going to try a 5/16 on both front and rear just want to check and see if these will work.

I don't think they will clear on a 15x4" rim. A 15x3.5 will clear with a 5/16" spacer, but I've heard that yours will need a bigger spacer. This will make the wheels stick out even further though, and you'll risk damaging your front fenders if you come down from a hard launch.

You've got some grinding ahead of you if you want to run those wheels.

Ok, well you could have saved me some typing and said 3.5 instead of 4 in the first place! Those will fit fine with the spacer.
