    Default Pro stars or summit stars come on in!

    Hey guys I want to buy a set of either the weld pro star wheels or the summit fast five (prostar replicas) but I don't know what size to get. If anybody could let me know what size wheels your running and provide a picture I appreciate it. Thanks

    Summit stars here: 4.75 5 lug bolt pattern, 15X8 5.5 BS rear, 15X4 1.75 BS up front. For my setup if I could do it again I would have gone with the 15X10's for the rear. I really wanted to go with the Pro Stars to keep my parts American, but I couldn't convince myself to pay the extra cash for the name. Now, I actually like the 1 piece design of the knock off better, you can use a normal acorn style lug nut instead of the shank style.

    Would I be able to do the 15x10 summit stars without fitment issues? on the rear. If so what backspacing would I need. And I have drilled and slotted rotors and stock lt1 calipers so brake fitment shouldnt be an issue right guys?

    the summit wheels dont have the right backspace to run a 10" wide on a stock rear. ya need 7.5 for a 10" the most the summit stars have is 5.5
