hmmm....I didn't know summit made these wheels. I wonder how they would pair against a set of prostars up front (already have). Any fitment issues compared to the jegstars?

Looks good bro. I love the way they look on your car. What springs are you lowered on? They look perfect with that stance and wheels.
I just bought a 2005 Mustang GT 5 speed (Sept. '04 build) with just under 24,500 miles. The car is as stock as it could possibly be. It's torch red if anyone cares.
I am planning to race this car and it is my summer daily driver. Having owned several Mustangs before this one I decided to not got for more power right out of the gate. Instead I am going to go for more chassis out of the gate and see how fast I can go on the stock engine. An inlet and axle back are the extent of my immediate engine mods.
So why is this all this in the "Combined 15" Wheel Fitment Thread"? Well I am going to be running Race Stars. And I have read this entire thread and several others and I am still left with a couple questions.
My plan is 15x3.75 with 26x6R15 Mickey Thompsons up front and 15x10 with 295/55R15 Mickey Thompson DR's out back. It's apparent that caliper and wheel will be very close both front and rear. Normally on custom wheels I use rim edge weights on the inner side and stick on weights just behind the outer face off the wheels. I've read here that can't be done. Some say don't bother balancing the rear. As far as I am concerned that is not an option. How much space does exist between the caliper and the wheel on these cars when you run 15's?
But my second question involve these hub rings. Are they really needed?

wow only 582...going to order them on monday....also it says some modding has to be done like what? and could you use your stock break lines for now?
Spindle ear's have to be cut off and the dust sheilds get removed ( you have to re tap the dust sheild hole's bigger. Custom brake lines have to be made.
The kit isn't pricey and it's very nice stuff. I knocked off 35 lbs if I remember correctly
