15x10 with 7.5 backspacing for the rears, and get the grinder ready! You have to grind the brake calipers down quite a bit to get them to fit.

5/16 spacers and longer studs for the front if you don't want to grind the calipers. I had 15x10s with 6.5" bs on my WS6 and liked how they looked. Flush with the fender, and a tad more deep-dish looking.

Don't run the spacers on the front. Just go ahead and grind all four calipers and be done with it. Its really not nearly as bad as people make it out. I spent about 20 minutes on each caliper.

I certainly would run longer studs if you go the spacer route on the front. I could only get like 4-5 turns of the lugnuts with my 5/16 spacers and stock studs. Not safe at all IMO compared to 13-14 turns after grinding.
