Nope none............ if u want to run Prostars you are going to have to grind.........

If ya dont want to do that then look at Bogarts.... but be ready to shell out about $1400 just for the wheels........

Nasty is right. I have the welds and had to grind the **** outta the rears to get them fit. The fronts i just used a 7/16 spacer. Here are a couple of pics.

Yes u can run a spacer up front but dont even try it with stock wheel studs.... yours asking for the wheel to come off and total the car..... Longer ARP Front studs.....
and no not at all spacers on the rear... even with longer studs.... to much stress...

The rear calipers can be ground down in about 45 min a side with a $30 grinder from Wal-Mart and about $10 is grinder disks.
Just grind and test fit the wheels.
Now for 15X8's you want to run a 5.5" of BS

15X8 rears M/T ET Street radial 275/60/15


15X10's with 7.5" of BS




It will be ok man.........
