Default What rim's & tires for front skinnies?

I want to run front skinnies to improve my ET's. Not sure what ones to go with. I like the weld pro star look. I don't want to have to change the wheel studs. What is the right backspacing for the welds? And what size do I need?

What about the Bogarts that look the same? Price?

I run 15x3.5 Prostars on mine,1.75" bs. MT et fronts, 26x4.5. Not saying it's a good thing; but I did'nt use longer studs on my fronts. Hope this helps!

Changing the studs will cause a problem with the stock lug nuts working on your stock rims right?

I think that they would stick out of the lug nut.
