Default Will these Welds work?

I am thinking of purchasing a set of Prostars for the track...but I am unsure of the size/backspacing. What would be the ideal set up? This is what I am being offered...lemme know if this will work!

15 X 3.5 fronts (not sure of the backspacing)
15 X 8 (5.5 backspacing) or 15 X 10 (7.5 backspacing)

Whatcha think? Thanks in advance for all your help!

15x8 will be fine man....get the 5.5" bs on the rears, and as much as possible on the front, correct me if I'm wrong somebody. I think the choices are 1.75, and 2.25....you'll hafta grind either way, but it isnt too bad. I'll help you if you need.
