you'll need to grind the calipers alot with no spacers (I am not running spacers)

I can't remomber the front offest, but the rear is

15x10= 7.5 BS
15x8= 5.5 BS

Just go with Convo Pros. No grinding

Otherwise our normal backspacing for the rear are 7.5. Front I think is 1.5" for the skinny's.

Of course the bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75.

What type of rear tires are you going with? Not sure if I could suggest tires. A lot will depend on your rear end (I mean 10 or 12-bolt, and gears). If they are any type of drag tires, don't go with the 165's. Just buy the front runners to match your rears - i.e. ET Fronts with ET Drags. Radials and non-radials do not match up very good. In fact I have a set of 165's setting in the garage I can't get rid of.
