I think Prostars without skinnies in the front would look terrible. Think Reese Bobby's Chevelle in Talladega Nights.

You can't get them in a 16" anymore. You're going to have to run the 15x3.5 on the front. The only offset available is 1.75" for those. On the rear, you can run 15x8 with 5.5" or a 15x10 with 7.5" as the most people do. I prefer 6.5" on 10" rims on T/As b/c they fill out the rear fender better.
Be prepared to spend time grinding the calipers to make them fit. You can run a 5/16" spacer on the front with longer studs and not have to touch the calipers, but on the rear you'll be grinding regardless.

Am I going to have trouble since my car is lowered? I would go with the 15x10's on the back. Do the bogarts come in 16's?

15x3.5's............

Now you can do a 15X4 and thats the biggest ive seen fit.... but the grinding for those with a spacer is horrible....

Now i know Bogart makes a RR series wheel in a 17X6 and you can use a smaller 17" tire there and a 16X10 or there 15X10.

That set if my memory serves me correct is in the order of about $1700

I know at one time i was looking at the RR-10's in 17X6's up front for all the time.... 17X10's out back fro street and a 15X10 for the trackand it was $2200 and i believe that was before there price increase......

Here are mine.... My street setup......
