Default Shoppin for wheels.

Ok so the 10 holes are really dragging me down so I figured I would buy my b*tch some new shows. Now my cousin is running identical wheels except I would rather not run skinnies on the front since the car will be my DD.

Was looking at these for the back, they are 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing.I would rather them fit without me removing the quads since control arms arent in the budget yet. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

And these for the front, they are 15x7 with 4.75 backspacing. will these work for the front? I really wanted the prostars but I do not want to run skinnies, there has to be a way. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

Any input would be great.

I have the prostars. Rear is 15x8 with 5.5 backspacing. Fronts are 15x6 with 3.5 backspacing. If quads are in the way you can flip them for more room.

+1 for flipping quad shocks, go with 5.5 backspacing in the rear
