so i wanna but 15" weld pro stars and i was wondering what the best sizes are for these on a street driven car. I was kinda looking for sonething like 15 by 8 in the back and sonething reasonable up front, something that wont be too skinny or to fat. I need to know what i have to get, like the backspacing and ofset, and if ill need any spacers. Thanks for the help guys

15x8 seems to skinny for the rear, why not get a 15x9 or 15x10?

No, dont use skinnies for the street. 7.5 at the least, I myself have 8.5s and like them.

If you're going by Weld wheels, I'd run 15x10's out back and 15x6's in the front if you don't want a skinny.
