Need Wheel Fitment Help Hey all,
Just bought a pair of Weld Prostars for the rear of my '96 Formula, the wheels are 15X10 with a 7.5" BS, and they dont fit because my studs aren't long enough. My question is: what wheel width and bs/tire combination would you suggest to fit the factory studs and fit under the wheel well? Thanks.

That's what I was thinking. I think I need a spacer for both rims b/c the hub is not centered with the axle flange and the whole wheel assembly rocks back and forth when it was fitted. Anybody have any input on this?

Okay guys, need two very important pieces of info so's I can get my pro stars mounted up. First: what kind of studs would anyone recommend for these 15X10's (i.e. length, width, thread pitch, etc.), second, what thickness spacer would anyone recommend, preferably one that will make these rims stick out too much. Before anyone says grind the calipers down more to fit these, I will be using a spacer regardless. Please give me your suggestions guys, really need to know this. Thanks alot!

ARP and Moroso both make 3" long studs(12mm x 1.5 then whatever length). Check Jegs or Summit and the sponsors. You will also need open ended lug nuts if you run the long ones. Not sure on the spacer but I think mine is an 1/8" and they just clear the calipers.

Thanks man, I already have lugs that work w/ the pro stars, and they are 1/2-20, but I just needed to know what length to run on the studs w/ like a 7/16" spacer. I appreciate the help guys.
