Default what BS do i need for prostars? ordering soon!

I am looking on ls1tech.com here right now but i need the backspace size and bolt pattern for 15x8" welds prostar and the 15x3" up front for the TA. i am sure i will eventually find it tomorow at school/work - since i dont do much of either on the net. just wondering if anyone knew off hand. i also need suggestions on lugnuts too. i know i need washers too right? will summit or jegs be able to help me out? will they know the right lugnuts? also i dont think any sponser sells them do they?

You use SST lugs, I got 15x10 prostars, also make sure you have a pretty good grinding tool ready...you are going to need to grind the caliper to make them fit right, and be prepared scratch up the insides test fitting... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

My 15x10's have 7.5 back spacing, don't worry abou the bolt pattern, I would order them through billingsley racing, I got mine from them, they will get you all set w/everythng...

I got 15x3.5's in the front w/3.5" backspacing...I run a 5/16's spacer up front too...

Hope that helps a little.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

With the 15" x 10"'s you should run either a 26" x 11.5" ET Street or a 26" x 10.5" ET Drag. Summit or Jegs has the best price on Welds.
