I ran the summitt stars on my car a couple years ago.. This is the size rims, tires and Backspace I used:
Fronts were 15X4, BS 1.75 with 26x6x15 MT Sportsman SR's, rears were 15X8, BS 5.5 with MT ET street radials 275/50/15.
I had to grind all calipers to get these to fit, I did not use any spacers....

Just go with the Summit brand like I did John. They are a nice budget wheel that looks good.
Pretty much the setup I run now, but I use 165/80/15s for front runners.

I have a set of prostars for sale. They are lighter than the jegs and summit wheels but as others have mentioned do require grinding. Most people run a 5/16 spacer upfront and grind down the rear calipers until those wheels fit. Others run a spacer on both the front and back with minimal grinding but swap out the rear wheel studs for peace of mind.
As far as tires go, its all personal preference. I like the rear tires to be 275/60/15 as it fills up the fender well better.
Here are my prostars for sale, if you are interested in picking up a set. There are many options out there but as far as budget/ weight goes these are ranked pretty high.

Amazing how a set of wheels can change a whole cars personality. No offense, but man your car was ugly as **** with those Summit wheels lol. Now with the 15/17 RTS combo, it's probably one of the best looking 98-02 F-bodies I've seen!
