Is there anyone running the Darkstars in a 17x7 15x10 setup? Also, for those running a 15x10, are you running them in a 7 1/2 back spacing, and if so, do they fit without having to grind the calipers?

Also, will I have ABS issues with running a 17/15 combo? Is there a specific size tire I would need to run in the front and rear in order not to have ABS issues?

You do have to grind a little on the fins of the rear calipers with the 15x10, took me ab 5 mins total. With a 26'' tire up front and a 28 out back my ABS light comes on, I think my buddy has roughly a 27'' tall front with 28 rears and doesn't have that problem.

What 235 size tire equates to a 27" tall for the fronts? Also, what 275 or 315 size tire would equate to a 28" rear? Sorry man, this kind of confuses me. I just want to have all my basis covered before I order.

not sure on the fronts, I run mickey Thompson 26x6 up front. On rears a 275/60/15 is 28'' as is the 295/55/15 and the 325/50/15 is also 28''

Is ANYONE running the 17x7 4.5 bs on the fronts? I think the 17x7 4.5 bs and 15x10 7.5 bs would look really killer.

If I run a 275/50/15 tire on the back, what size 235 front tire would I need to run in order to for the tire heights to be the same so that I don't have ABS issues? What about a 325/50/15? I like the idea of having a wider tire in the rear. From what I've seen the options are as follows:

235/60/17
235/55/17
235/50/17

Any of these work with a 275/50/15 or the 325/50/15?

They don't make a 17x8; only 17x7 or 17x9.5.

Are you guys using the stock wheel studs, or is that a "no-no".

Anyone know if the 17x9.5 in a 7.00 backspacing would fit the fronts? Thinking about doing a 17x9.5 and 15x10 combo, which would be street friendly.
