6.5" BS for the rear 10" wheels

I suggest running skinnies (15x3.5) on the front, not the 6" wheels

Thanks,
if I go with 8.5" what would you rec. I will be lowering the car about 1.5" also so I want to make sure that the tire does not stick out. I was looking @ the factory rims today, will a 15" clear the caliper in front?? Just looks like there will be clearance issues
Thanks again for any help that you can give, it is appreciated greatly

Yes, but you will need a 7/16" spacer for the front to clear the caliper. For an 8" wheel, you will need 5.5" BS.
