If your going to run a spacer in the front then yes I'd suggest ARP 3.250" 12mm studs. Remember for these your going to need OPEN end 12mm lug nuts. For the rears you should be fine as far as passing tech goes, without the ARP studs, but I'd suggest them anyways, it never hurts. I believe I ran a 5/16th spacer on the front of mine before I got my Greg Welds, I will check today at the shop though. 3.73s are not alot of gear, depending on where you shift your car, your best be is to stay with a 26 or 27 inch tall tire. I ran a 275/60/15 (28") M/T DR on my car with no rubbing issues at all, and now have 325/50/15s and they still don't rub unless I hit a big bump. You will have to massage your inner fender well with a hammer for these, though its not a big deal. I plan to roll my fender lips also.

You absolutely need them for the front with the spacer. I do not believe tech will bother you with the rear, as I believe they will actually meet the required inside length, but I would do the rears too just to be safe.
These are the 12mm studs your going to want to use:

Here are the 12mm lugs you will need:

If they are the correct ones, how does the wheel center itself if the lug does not go inside of the lug hole?
If i run the MT 275/50r15 on the rear, what size tire should I run on the front? What brand do you run? The car still has stock springs.
I just ordered the wheels. Got a new set for $750 shipped. They come with extra long sst style lugs with washers, will the lugs work or do i still need a different type lugs?

Even though they are listed a 26x7.5 tire, they only have a 4.8" tread width.

They will be perfect, I promise.

If you're on a budget, the prostars are going to be the next lightest to our wheels. You'll have to do some work to make them fit but they are going to be hard to beat when being on a budget. If there is anything to consider regarding why a lighter wheel as ours can benefit you...they will equate to a converted rotational to static weight of about 50lbs by using our Bogart wheels compared to a set of prostars.
Good luck to the original poster.

Love the prostars, only downside was having to grind down LS1 rear brake calipers.
Love the Bogarts too ... if I hadn't got such a good deal on these, I probably would have saved some extra cash and got those instead.
