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.

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

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
