Default need some help on sizing

I've decided to go with the Billet Specialties Street Lite. The size I've looked at for the front is the 15 X 3.5 or the 15 x 4 with a 1.75" bs. The Size for the back is 15 x 10 with a 7.5" bs. Are these the correct sizes for the wheels? As for the tires, the fronts are either the MT, Hoosier or Goodyear skinnies. What tallness is recommended, 26" or 28". For the backs, I'm getting the MT ET Streets.Won't be driving it a lot on the street. Do I go with a 26" or a 28" and how wide can I go on these tires? I'd like to order these things soon as the car is now sitting on jack stands. It's a painfull sight. THanks

You want the 15x4 with 1.625 backspacing and also would be better off with a 26" front. The 28s require some work to get them to fit.

You also need the F-Body specific rears and the 28s for the back may require you to trim the bumper cover
