Wheel help I have set of weld prostar wheels with M/T ET street tires. The tire size is 275/60/15 and the rims have a 7.5 BS witch i was told is right for my 95 TA. I went to put the wheels on and the studs on the axle are way to short to put lugs on. Anyone have any advice????
The backspacing depends on the width of the rim. You need a 15X10 with 7.5 bs or 15X8 with 5.5 bs. As for the studs the stock ones will be short, you can either run them or do the safe thing and install some longer wheel studs.

Prostar / Studs The lug nuts for these wheels are 1.310 inches long and will reach to about 1/4 of an inch to the bottom of the stud. I would make sure you have the right lug nuts. You should not need longer studs.

Listen to WheelCzar, the Prostar is designed for a shank style lug that goes down inside the wheel and actually squeezes the wheel when tight. The lug does NOT stick out of the wheel, the lug nut goes into the wheel to contact the stud. If you are going to drag the car at the strip, do yourself a favor and get an open end shank style lug. The tech guy can look in the end and see that you have a full lug engagment, otherwise he might make you pull a lug off in tech so he can see the same thing. Get the 1.310 shank length.
