Currently I don't need a 15 but either when I spray or go with boost I will. I run in a lot of grudge events so prep isn't always the best. More side wall is always better.

Why in the world do you need a 15" wheel/tire combo to run 12's.

I've had a few. Current is 17" alumastar fronts and 17" RTS rears.

17" CCW rears' that almost match the HRE fronts

18x12 Repros

17x11 RTS with Hoosier 315/35/17 drag radials

18x4.5 RTS with M/H Racemaster skinnys

Going with an alumastar on the front this year, and unsure of rears..... may stick with them since theyve cut some pretty good 60' times!

Gto spares up front, c5Z rims with 325/35/17 mickey thompsons on back.

325's on c5z wheels rub on standard rear fenders, you need wide body.

I didn't bother with spacers on my front wheels...with the wide fenders it has a funny car look that I like.

So 2" adapters if you don't want to grind your calipers, 1.5" if you don't mind grinding them.

Well..they're not exactly the same, but to me, it's negligible. The bolt up great and have given me 0 issues in almost a year and a half of running them. I rarely have street tires on the car and I'm just now down to the wear bars on the spares. YRMV but I have no issues running them straight up.
