Default what is required to run 15" wheels?

I've done a search and can't come up with a comprehensive list. What exactly is required to run 15" x 10" and 15" x 4" wheels? This is for a 2004 coupe. I'd like to run perhaps Weld Pro Stars with 28" drag radials and a skinny front.

Thanks.

For the rear, you need different spindles.

LG makes some that allows you to run your stock rear brakes.

The rear A arm will require a small notch on the bottom

Depending on the shape of the rim barrel, you won't have to grind the rear caliber or use a spacer.

The Pro Stars have a square barrel shape, should be ok






For the front, you can run Strange light weight brakes or

I believe you can run the rear brakes on the front, but might require a spacer (not sure)

Thank you sir. I will continue to investigate this. My CCW Classics, with the black centers, aren't growing on me yet. They're much lighter than OEM wheels but I would like all "shiny" wheels as a friend of mine says.
