So I've done a lot of searching on the site for this subject and I think I have most of my answers, but I was wondering if you all would help me with my specific set up.

I want to run Weld Draglite's on my car. I want to run 15" rims all the way around. In the front I'm thinking about 15x6 or 15x7 (opinions?)

And in the rear I'm torn on either 15x8 or 15x10. I've seen the posts on the 15x10 and it not rubbing and posts where 15x8's do rub. So I'm really mixed up on this. If I'm going to run a 275 tire on either the 15x8 or the 15x10 does it really matter which one I get? Cause if it doesn't I'll probably go with the 15x8.

To make this set up work... I'm reading about having to replace studs and possibly drag bags (I have rear spring spacers already). What work is involved with replacing studs and is there anything else that I need to get in order to make this set up work?

I appreciate all the help and I'm ready to give any more information that you might need.

Thanks

I just need help with tire height and backspacing really. I'm really bad with this kind of thing. I don't trust tire/wheel vendors because they'll say anything to make a sale and usually dont know the truth behind specific cars.

Alright so I've figured out most of what I need (at least I hope I have). Here's what I'm interested in now...

Is it at all possible to fit a 15x6 rim in the front of the 06 cars? I keep reading that everyone says they think it would hit the caliper, but yet no one says for sure... So has anyone tried? If they do? Can I fit a 16x6 rim in the front? Or if I want that narrow of a rim, do I have to go with 17" rims?
