I WAS WONDERING HOW TO PUT A SET OF WELD PRO STAR WHEELS ON MY 1995 GT. I SEE THEM ON THESE CARS BUT DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY FIT. I WANT 15X10'S IN BACK WITH 295/50 TIRES AND I HEARD THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A 6.5" BACKSPACING TO RUN THAT SIZE. I WANT 15X5'S IN FRONT WITH 205/70 TIRES, WILL I HAVE TO HAVE WHEEL SPACERS LIKE THE 99 UP STANGS DO? ANYONE WITH PICTURES OF THIS SETUP OR SIMILAR?

O.K. I didn't get any responses about this so I just took a chance on them. I purchased weld pro star 15x10 rears with a 295/50-15 yokohama avid tire. The rear wheels have a 6.5 inch backspacing and the only problem I had was the quad shock clearance, I just swapped the quad shock around and it cleared fine, and the e-brake cable was rubbing the tire, I just bent the bracket that holds it over a little. For the front I purchased a set of 15x5 weld pro stars with a set of 205/70-15 yokohama avid tires and I had to use a 3/8 inch spacer and grind down the edge of the brake caliper about an 1/8 inch. The tires and wheels work great, already put a couple hundred miles on them with no problems. I will post a picture of the car with them if someone can tell me how to do that on here. I'm going back to the 1/4 mile tommorrow night to see if the tires/wheels make any difference, I know they're alot lighter and they deffinately hook better than my worn out 16" stockers did.

I just wanted to dig out this thread. I also want to put prostars on my 95. Has anyone here done that? If so let me know what size of rim and tire you went with for the front and back. How much modifying did you have to do?
