Default Need Wheel Sizes Right Away!!!!

OK, Summit has the billet specialties street lite wheels on sale for 3 days only so i need to know exactly what sizes i need so i can get these ordered. I have a 2002 GT that i want to run 15x10 in the rear and 15x4 up front. My question is, what is the backspacing i need for these wheels to fit right? also, does it really matter if i get the 3.5" or the 4" for the front? Thanks guys!!

I think the fronts are all the same BS until you start running a 5inch up front. But you'll probably have to run a spacer up front to clear the caliper. I did with my pro stars i used a 7/16" spacer.

there are plenty of people runnin 165s and 3.5s up front on the street just don't push it around corners.

A little off topic, but I noticed that as of march 13th they are going to have the billet specialties street lites in 17" sizes. I wish I hadn't bought wheels now Anyone interested in mine? They are in perfect shape
