Default Anyone with summit stars?

Could someone tell me if a 15x8 summit star with a 5.5" backspace will fit over the front LT1 brakes? I know they fit great in back but I want to run them on all four corners. Thanks in advance.

Just looking for some really light street wheels on a budget. I also need a rim with more sidewall(for traction) than my current 17" WS6 wheels to mount some MT drag radials on.

A stock WS6 wheel and tire weigh 55lbs so I think you are mistaken. And its not for handling it is for traction as stated above.

I can't drive around town on 4 inch skinnies. I wan't to drive around town on Mickey Thompson Drag Radials on back and KDWs on a full size rim up front. Then at the track all I have to do is put on the 4 inch skinny's.

Well then just put the rear wheels and tires on and leave the front with what you have. And just swap on your skinnies at the track or right before.

Now that would look pretty ghetto wouldn't it. Driving around town with 17" WS6 wheels on front and 15" summit stars on the back. Guys I'm asking a simple question. Yes or no will do. LOL
