I was looking at a set of 5 lug Prostars for my 88 notch, and I know with the 15x8" wheel, I would use a 5.5" bs. Well now i found these other wheels that are 15x8, but only a 5" bs. Is that 1/2" going to cause me problems? Specifically, is it going to cause rubbing problems, and look stupid with a 275/50 DR? Thanks.

I don't think you'll have a problem.
