I don't think you can really make a 15x4" rim fit up front. You want to go with a 15x3.5" with a 1.75" bs. For the rear it's either 15x8 with 5.5" of bs or 15x10 with 7.5" of bs.

Trust me about the 15x4 up front. You have to do alot of grinding to make the 15X3.5's fit anyway. Do a search, I think there are still some pics around here somewhere where somebody tried to make a 15x4 fit and there was pretty much nothing left of the caliper

Yea, you can run longer studs on the front with 5/16 spacers and not have to grind. You'll have to grind the rears though.
