3.5 skinnys/10.5 Slicks.. a little help I searched and came up with some good things, but I just need the full thing.
Heres what Im thinking of going with 3.5x15inch Weld Draglites and 10.5x15 Draglites in the back with MickyThompson Front sport man skinnys and Micky Thompson ET Streets on the back. What spacers do I need?? I think when I did the search people where saying 5/16s?? on all 4? Also someone was saying Ill need longer lugs... will I need them on all 4 too?? And whats a good size rear tire that wont rub? And whats the typical price you guys have spend on this type of set up?? I just need a ballpark estimate (tires/rims/spacers/lugs...etc)
Thanks.

Yea, 5/16 if you don't want to grind the calipers, but you'll need longer studs. Not sure about the rear spacers b/c I used the grinder on mine, and ran 1/8" IROC spacers for a day (ran out of daylight). I have about 10 or 11 full turns on the rear lugnuts w/o the spacers, but you might want stronger/longer studs to pass tech. I have 275/50 Nitto 555R's on the rear, with metric Kuhmo 165/15's on the front (~$24-26 @ Tirerack). I believe my rear wheels were $380, fronts $250, Nitto's $320ish, Kuhmos $55ish, so roughly $1000 w/o shipping. Not counting the lugnuts and spacers I bought.
