Default jegs wheels

I have 96 gt im looking at a set a jeg wheels they are Sport Star 5-Spoke Wheels .The backs are 15x8 with 4.5 back spacing. The fronts are 15x4 . Do you guys thing these wheels will look good or not. I was thinking about running 275/50/15 on the back but i dont know what to put on front. Will i have any rubbing problems, the car is lowered a little. thanks for your help...

They fit with no rubbing issues. The only thing that sucks about them is that they are not as light as Weld wheels. Most people run 195's up front on those wheels.

They are not heavy by any means, they just aren't as light as Weld wheels.

You can run them with stock studs, and most of those wheels require special Open lugs. You might be able to use the stock ones though. I just don't know with the Jegs ones or not.
