will these wheels fit?

15x3.5 front pro - stars
15x10 rear pro stars w/ 5.5 backspacing..


im a bit conerned as far as what offset i need... as far as i can tell... backspacing and offset are.. basically interchangeable... until you get into the negative offset range....

yes they will fit, might need some pounding on the inner wheel well for the rears, but that would be on a case by case basis with what tire size was used.

Re: will these wheels fit?

well i was anticipating that but my real question is about the offset, i mean.. as far as i can tell as long as the offset is positive , and it has 5.5" of backspacing, it will fit... if the offset goes negative, it will look wider basically... deep dish...

in an ideal situation i want 0 offset correct? because im pretty sure the 4th gens use like.. 38 or -38 mm offset...

thanks for the response btw.

i found a guy local who has a set of pro-stars, 15x10 w/ slicks, and 15x3.5 with skinny's for 500.

i kinda thought it was a st- i mean deal..

lets just put it this way.. 15x10 prostars with 5.5" backspacing ARE 0 offset.. 15x10 specs are at the bottom of the page
