1 7/8th backspacing holeshots for the 15x4 hole shot holestars for the fronts is this the correct backspacing?
will I have to run a spacer?
the backs are 15x10 7 7/8th spacing.

I believe you will need a .075 spacer to clear the brakes. Measure the distance from the outside of the disk hub (where the wheel stud comes through the disk rotor) to the outer portion of the brake caliper, then add .025 for clearance and then add that total to your 1 7/8th measurement . I used a straight edge on the caliper and measured off the wheel stud.
My 95 Z28 required 2 7/8ths offset with a 3/4" spacer to tuck nicely under the fender.
I run the same back wheel size and offset and it fits fine with no spacer. I am running a 98 rear brake setup with drum type emergency brake.
Hope this helps

Eric,
First off the car looks amazing, great stance, secondly thanks that definitely helps.
