Awesome wheels ! Can I get some specs on the wheels. Are they 15x10 with 7.5 bs. Will they clear stock brakes or do you have to grind?

Just out of curiosity, what did you use to clean the sticker off of the spokes?

When I test fit my 15" rear dark stars, I had to grind my calipers slightly. Less than 5 minutes of grinding and test fitting for each side.

The fronts are 205s and the backs 11.5x28". Just took the grinder to the caliper for less than a minute on each side since it was really tight.

This set up looks really good man. I am looking to do something similar. Other than grinding calipers, was there any other modifications to get them to fit? What size are rear tires? Thanks!
