15" rims for the track?? or keep stocks?? I was thinking about getting 15" rims for the track and running skinnies in the fronts.. But will the 15" rims effect the computer or anything like that or will it be alright? I heard it will effect the computer in a bad way for some reason and that its better to keep the stock rims?? 
I was going to get some Bart racing 15" rims from summit.. but i'm not sure which backspace to get.. 2", 3", or 4"... what would be better? and what bolt pattern would work for my car? and i was planning on throwing either 275/50/15 or 275/60/15 Nitto 555R drag radials on them to hook for my new 3200 vigilante converter when i buy it.. If anyone could help me figure out this set up i would greatly appreciate it.. i've been researching it a ton.. Let me know what backspacing and which tire size to get or if it is a bad thing to do? I appreciate any help! Any suggestions on different wheels would be great too! i just don't wanna spend more than $50 per rim.. Thanks!

$50 per wheel???? Sorry man, can't help you there. But it's not the wheel size that affects the pcm, it's the tire hieght. And I believe the only thing it affects on a 6 speed car is the speedometer. Smaller wheel just needs a taller sidewall.

Well i noticed a lot of wheels on summit were only around $50 and under per wheel... i don't wnat anything major.. just some cheap black ones that look half way decent.. what kinda prices do you think i could find? and would those nitto drag radials that are 275/60/15 have a big enough sidewall or no? let me know anything that will help me out and i'll greatly appreciate it.. Thanks

This is an exceallnt link to aid you in determining tire height. Just punch in the numbers to get an idea.
275/60/15 are tall. 275/50/15 are closer to stock.

5 x 4.75 bolt pattern.
Methinks those bart wheels will stick out like a ****- I don't think they offer a backspace that's anywhere near what you need.

hmmm so maybe the bart wheels aren't a good idea then... i'll have to look for a bolt pattern that matches to that.. I don't really care about how the wheels look.. i sortta want them to be black.. so they are cheaper 
but anyone have suggestions on some cheap wheels that would work out great with Nitto 275/50/15 tires? If anyone could help i would appreciate it! Thanks
