Default 15" on front

Had a question... I have 15" on the car now (Weld pro stars) But I want to put another set on. My question, will any size 15 work up front? Like, a 15x8? or 9?

Or am I basically stuck with the 4" up front? If so, any idea of the back spacing?

You can put a 15x8-9 up front but it defeats the purpose since they're for drag racing. Not sure on the back spacing

These won't be for drag racing... Just another set of wheels so I'm not riding around on my MT's all the time. I found some 15" wheels that don't look too bad and I pretty cheap. I figured since all the hard work of getting the calipers down far enough is done, I might as well take advantage of the extra wheel choices.

No you can't. Maybe on a third gen you can, but I don't see how it would ever work on a LS1 F-body. I know it's been attempted before, but I think the biggest that has been done was 15x5 with A LOT of grinding.

And I can't even picture how stupid anything wider than a 15x4 would look.
