I have the Race Star Dark Stars for my car, direct drill so no oblong washers to get them to seat. 17 x 4 up front (to clear the brakes) and 15x8 on the rear with Mickey Thompson 275-50x15 tires.

And this was my 2006 - Jegs Sport Stars, 15x4 up front and 15x8 on the rear. The fronts I needed a 3/8" spacer to clear the brakes, and still had to grind on the calipers for clearance.

so a 17 front and 15 rear is a good setup?

no rubbing with 15s in rear?

No rubbing with a 15 x 8 if you go with a 15 x 10 then you have to adjust things with the sway bar for clearance.

For the front the 17 fits with no spacers or any grinding on the caliper.
