Question buying prostars???

need to know what size of tire and rim i would need for a 2 inch front and back dropped 94 z28. im thinking 15x8 with 5.5 backspacing with a 265/60/15 tire in front and 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing with a 295/60/15 tire. what do you think guys. if this is a good combo and would make the car look nice (dont want any tire gaps between fender and tire) let me know where i can get the tires and rims cheap. ive been reading about tomz wheels. dont know who they are but some input would be nice. my 383 blown stroker will be out soon and i need some nice rims on it. currently doing the 315 zr1's in the back. tired of that look.

not sure about LT1 brakes, but those 15x8s would never fit on an LS1 because of clearance issues. We run the 15x3 front wheels and they barely clear with a spacer. 15x10 7.5 is correct for the rear though.

We're not sure about the fitment of this setup, you may have trouble clearing the brake calipers, and the largest backspacing we could find on a 15" wheel was 6".

i can alway's grind the brakes down a little. but a lot would trouble me somewhat. i believe summit and jegs carries a rear spacing of 7.5 though. hey kevin if your still checking on my post, can you shoot me a quote of how much all of this will cost me with tires if possible. i need a good street setup. no slicks just yet. dont want to bust the rear end yet. also i really would like to run the wider tire up front. also i can always raise the car back up to stock or just put in a 1.5 dropped spring.
