Prostars, draglites. Just about any wheel but your going to have to run at least a 1 inch spacer

Weld XP's are obsolete. :( I've been trying to find a set.

Alumastars will probably clear too.

spacers >front? back? both?

back spacing for front and rear using spacers as required? want to run 5" front, 8"-9" rear

has to fit the first time :P

The front requires a 1"+ spacer to clear the brake caliper. Not sure about the rear.

I have a set of 1 inch spacers if you need for the front I ran them on my 97 cobra with 3.5 front . will sell cheap

Spacers are only going to work for skinnies (3.5-4" wide). I don't think you can buy a thick enough spacer to run a 5" or wider wheel for the front

What about the rear?

What about the rear?

the rear is not as much as a problem as the front because the rotors are a good bit smaller in diameter plus the calipers are smaller

you only need the 1" spacers for the fronts but you have to use a 3.5" wheel with a 1.75" backspacing.

for the rear a 15"x8" wheel with a 5.5" backspacing is what you need
