Default Pro Stars on a 96 SS

I have been back and forth between big rims and tires and then drag wheels, i have true duals and i think that the drag wheels will just give it more of an agressive stance. I was wondering if anyone has pics of some pro stars on a 96 ss or z.

The 15x5's will not clear the oem brakes, the 15x3.5's just barely fit even with spacers

Hes just going to have to sand the backs andyway, cause theres no way a 15x10 will fit on there. so you might as well hit the fronts while your at it.

Which skinny tires do you guys use? What size, and brand? I'm getting these tonight, and need to know! I'm also getting ARP's longer wheel studs *which are a tad long*. Does anyone have 1 extra shank style lug nut from Weld? I had to break one, and I just need 1! I'm also getting Mr. Gasket's 5/16 spacer for my LT1.
