Default can i run 15's on my 5lug?

I want to get some light wheels and dump my 17's, but i bought the car with a 5lug setup and was wondering if I can run 15's, specifically weld 15's. And I was thinking like 15x8/15x9, is that a good combo?

thanks guys

I think you will be fine as long as you don't have HUGE brakes. That way the calipers wont hit the wheels. PRO50SC has em on his car and its 5 Lug, and has no problems, so I think you'll be fine.

99% of people who run an extraset of slicks or DR's for track use only run 15" wheels
