They will need wheel spacers and grinding or just alot of grinding.

What backspacing do you need for prostars 15x3.5. Or what spacer do you need. A 1/4 inch spacers 3/8ths etc?

for the fronts it is 1 3/4 in backspacing. if you use spacers, you do not have to grind. for the backs; if you use a 15x8, go with 5.5in BS, and 15x10 go with 7.5in BS. You can get away with not using a spacer on the backs, but it requires more grinding. in my opinion, you can't see the calipers ground up when you have the wheel on, so why not grind and save yourself the use of a spacer. here is a link to one of the other users homepage that i used a while back when i bought my prostars:Click Here
