Go with the summit brand. Same wheel basically, little lighter and fit better (the jegs ones don't have the correct BS for our cars). Go with a 15x4 1.75bs front and a 15x8 5.5bs rear. They don't currently make a 10" wide 7.5" bs in that wheel.

Any grinding on the rear calipers? Spacers on the front? Thanks.

Man this has been answered about 10 times the past two weeks..

spacer will be needed on the front with longer studs. Rears will need some grinding but nowhere near the amount of Prostars.

Here is a pic of my calipers after I grinded them for the Summit wheels with brand new pads so this is the most you will have to grind.

i used no spacer up front but i had to grind a bit cause i've got new pads and new drilled and slotted rotors, the rears needed very little grinding, i'm happy with the wheels, great wheel for the price
