Default Pro Stars on front?

Guys, someone PLEASE help me. I just can't find the answer, and am really having problems reading all the gibberish in the stickies.

Will 6", 7", or 8" Pro Stars fit on my 2000 Camaro?
If so, what do I need to do to make them fit?

I know SOMEBODY has to be running something other than skinnies.

No, they won't fit. Nobody is running any Prostars that are wider than 3.5" with LS1 brakes. 15x4 is the widest you can go, and those are with the Centerline wheels that stick out further, or the Summit/Jegs brand wheels.

So what can I do? Are there ANY decent wheels out there that will allow me to run something other than a skinny?

Can't a 16" wheel fit then?
Surely there are wheels that fit on our cars!

yes the 16s but good luck finding them cheap.. if youre only going to use them for the track you could run 16 up front and 15 in the back.. but if its only for track use then you might as well just get the 15x3.5s.

You might wanna track down another set of calipers. One guy tried 15x4 and didn't have much caliper left at all.
