7/16" spacer and the weld should go right on. My buddy had Pro Stars on his 02 GT with that spacer and no issues. The 15x8 needs atleast 5.5" BS on the rear.

i tried them and they didn't fit, however i have been corrected on the matter. apparently they need max backspacing on the fronts and spacer and like he said on the backs. i am definitely going to them for race day. too dangerous for the street for me. 165's really don't stop well. and i like running 110+.

I forgot what backspacing you need for the front, but my buddy got them to fit on his 02 GT with a 7/16 spacer on the front. Then again he was running a 15x10 with 6.5 BS on the rear.
