I have read dozens of threads on this subject. I know the 15x10 won't fit without all the massaging. In another thread a guy put some 15x8 on but didn't like the look, so he swapped them for 15x9 welds rts. I pmed him over a week ago asking if he needed to grind, change the tie rod ends and what back spacing was needed with no respond. does anyone know so I can order some wheels. thanks

Send a PM to SYMach1, he will set you straight on everything. To my knowledge you can run a 15x9 and you will have to grind the knuckle and the tie rod. I believe if you run the MM tie rods you will not have to grind them, they will clear. With a 15x10 I think you will have to do all the above plus change out your rear brake line but Im not positive on that.

Edit: Here are the sizes. 15x9 w/5.5 BS for the rears and the fronts are 17x4.7 w/1.9 BS,
