RE: weld wheels
If i was running it ever now and again I would go with a 15x3.5 up front and not look back. Now it was a DD I would be looking at a 15x6 or a 15x5, but would still really be thinking about just getting the 15x3.5 up front. If you never go to the drag strip, get a wider wheel, if you go to the track alot, get the skinnier wheel. All a matter of preference.
for the back 275/50/15's look better on a 15x9 with a 6" BS.
still have to have the same spacer up front no matter the size. That or you can grind on the caliper. No grinding you will need a 7/16". Less than that you will need some grinding done. Think the smallest size in hub-centric spacers are 1/2"
Don't over look the wheel studs though.
