looking for a good size and offset for some weld prostars for my car. i know i can go as small as 15's on the back. just what width and offset would be good?

If only it were that easy! The old school Welds won't fit. They interfere badly with the brake calipers. The only real solution for a set of drag wheels are Bogarts or Holeshot wheels. If you are lucky enough to find a set of weld XP's for the rear in a 15x9 5.5" bs they will work. I looked for months and finally found a set. They are very scarce. The fronts are normal Welds with 3" studs and 11/16 inch spacers for caliper clearance.

+1 to Slofoot. I also have 15x9, 5.5" bs Weld XPs in the rear, and standard Weld 15x3.5" up front (with the 11/16" spacers). I also have 3" studs on all four corners.

But, I read recently where one guy "claims" a standard 15x10 Weld w/7.5"bs will clear the caliper if you use a 1/4" spacer and relocate the swaybar & bracket. Frankly, I'll believe it when I see it... but if that's true, then it's great news for a lot of people.
