I had the Racestars on my 95 TA for around two years. loved the way they looked and they fit great. I had the 15X3.5 (if i remember the exact size) fronts and the 15X10 rears. i don't remember the front tire size but the rears were 28'' tire et streets. I had stock height springs in the rear to fit that. The wheels fit right on my car without any issues.

You guys know the weight of these puppies ? Also do the fronts come in 15x4 or 4.5 if so do they fit the same. Not real crazy about running 3.5's on the high way to the track. I know ppl do it all the time but I'd like that extra 1in up front.

mine fit with no issues, but I still ground down the caliper as it was very close. I had already hacked away most of the inner fenderwell for my 315's, but I've got ample room running 295/55/15's, switching to 325/50/15's since these tires are shot. Running 15x3.5 front, 15x10 rear 7.5BS. I run 75-85 on the highway with no problems, few thousand miles on my setup.

I had to lightly grind my rear calipers for mine to fit. They are F body specific too.
