i have the eibach lowering springs and i just put my skinnies on a few weeks ago. get the 15x4 jegs pro stars with 4.75 circle pattern and 1.75 back spacing. the 4.5 is 4 the mustangs. i ran no spacer up in the front but needed 2 grind the calipers down. id advice not putting spacers on. u might not have 2 grind the calipers most ppl they bolt rite up for them. all depends on ur brakes. 4 ur tire go with the 165R 80 15 kumho tire there like 32 bucks off tire rack.
good luck

The summit drag wheels are the same right? I tried bolting my summit front runner and and im going to need to grind just a tad off but not much. Im pissed because I spent alot of time getting my calipers really nice.

The jegs clear stock brakes...but depending on your pad/rotor combo even the jegs wheels may require a tad bit of grinding. With stock rotors and a little less than half material left on the pads they clear fine. However when I do rotors on the car and new front pads I may have to shave the caliper some. I'm going to keep the brush on caliper paint for this reason
