Default draglite question

I have a 93 gt that I want to put a set of welds on. It is still a 4-lug car. Can I get a set without doing a 5 lug conversion? also what size fits and looks the best, width/backspacing, etc...
any pics will help

I have 15x9s on the back with 5.5 inch backspacing however i had to get the fenders rolled to fit 265 wide tires. They look very good and line up perfectly with the edge of the fender, but its a hassle to get the fenders rolled. On the front I have 15x8s with a 5.5 inch backspacing with no issues fit wise. For tires I have 265 50 15s on the back and 245 50 15s up front.

i run drag lites at all 4 corners. not sure on the bs up front but the tire is a 165 and i think the wheel is 15x4. out back i have a 15x8 with a bs of 5.5" and a 275/60 tire. fits perfect. 275/60 looks as tho it should have been that big from the factory instead of the little tires they give you

I have been looking for what size tires I can put on my draglites. I don't even know what size rims I have because I got the car how it is. Currently I'm running 245 60 15's on the back and I want to get something more beefy on it. I just don't know **** about tires.

I bought the car with the tires on it so I am not sure what all was done or the backspace on the rims. It has 295/50R15 rear, 185/60R15 front and the rear do rub over speed bumps and entering drives.
