Default Final Question On ProStars! (Thanks For The Patience!)

Next (final) question!
I've settled on the standard ProStars.

I'm currently looking at the following setups if possible:
-15x6 front with 195x65x15's (I could run this full time)
-15x10 (7.5BS) rears with 11.5 E/T's for the strip and 275x50 Nittos for the street.

The question is, will the 15x6's work?
- 15x6 with 3.5 BS (Has anyone tried these? Do you think they'd stick out too far on the fronts??

If not, I just have to run the 15x4 with 2.25BS.

Thanks for all the help!!

Mark

Are the 15x4 with 2.25BS what most people are running up front for skinnes now? Do they tuck in nicely?

I use the 15x3.5 with a 1.75" bs. I do have to use a 5/16" spacer and the do stick out a little. I was more worried about getting the lightest rim/tire combo, not so much the look.

Thanks. I'm planning on grinding so I think I can get away without the spacer.

Biggest I have heard of in front is 15x5.

Thanks John.

I'm giving up the quest for a compromise, wasted enough time on this already! I'm going to run a front and back set just for the strip.

I drove with 15x5 up front with a spacer and a bunch of grinding for 2 years. I ran a 195 tire and it looked good. I spent a little more for the tire ($48) so it would last and so I would be more confident in it.
