15 x 7 weld racing pro stars, will they fit?
Hey guys, I found a good deal on 4 15x7 prostars. I dont plan on racing or fitting slicks, I just like the look of the rims, would 15x7's fit the back? They are the right bolt pattern, i just know nothing about backspacing and fitting rims.
I read that you may have to grind the calipers a little to fit, can anyone back that up? Im assuming 15x7s wont fit on the front, does anyone know a more appropriate size, or could you run 15 x 7s all around?
Thanks in advance

Actually, if you planned on only racing, you'd be better off. Keep looking for different (stronger) wheels. Weld Prostar wheels are designed more for straight-line cars. Take a close look at how they're made....two thin front and back spokes (not attached) with a sandwiched mounting hub that floats between the centers. Hard cornering will flex these wheels, and can eventually crack the spokes where they meet the hub or rim. If you don't notice the cracking, you could end up having a nasty cave in. Google "Weld Prostar failure" and see just how many have been having issues with running them on a street car.
