summit star size questions i am wanting to but a set of summit/jeg stars.
my car is a 96 z28
i am running a 12 bolt with 4th gen spacing.
a local car is running a set with set of MT 28/12.5s et streets (non radial), on a set of 10 wide wheels..... but he was running a 9 inch from a 3rd gen. he told me had had to do some hammering and trimming of the rear bumper, which i am fine with doing.
my question is...
i wanna run the exact same combo, but with backspacing to fit my car. what do i need?
this isn't the car, but this is the look i want.

10" wide wont look good, u will need to have it shortened for it to look good on a 10" wde rim..
and for the fronts these..

with the 15x8 wheel you'll want a 5.5" backspacing.

Verdad Gallardo Summit Stars and Prostars are COMPLETELY different.
The Summit Stars:
1. Weigh more.
2. Use a regular lug nut instead of a shank like the Prostars
3. Are a cast aluminum piece.
4. Do not come in the right offset in a 15x10 wheel, only a 15x8
5. Are a cheap knock off of the Weld Prostar
