I think 15x4's only fit certain year F-Bodies. They won't fit 98+ for sure. I run 15x3.5 with 1.75 backspacing, a 5/16 spacer, and no brake clearancing.

why not just go with the 15x3.5? 15x4 isn't much bigger. why do you need the 15x4?

well.. with 15x4 you will get better size for tires, more safe on turns also the holes on the streets, the car for weekend drive some times and mostly for track.

i drove with 15x3.5 in front and 15x10 with full hoosier slicks 120 miles roundtrip no problem. you will have to grind a lot and go with a big spacer to get those 15x4 to fit. they will prolly stick out a bit as well. just go with a 15x3.5.

Maybe i will change my mind to 3.5" in the front.. I'm stopping now at back side size 8" or 10"

If you run a 15" x 4" you will probably have to grind your calipers. I have a friend that went with 15" x 4" and had to grind his front calipers. I run the 15" x 3.5" with 1.75" bs & 5/16" Spacers & didn't have to grind a thing.
