I bought prostars for the front and rear. The rear 15x10 with the 275-60-15 fit fine but the front 15 x 3.5 hit the brakes soo much it looks like I need a 1/2" spacer to make them fit or grind half of the brakes off. What did you guys do to make them fit. Or my offset is wrong but we ordered the wheels through Summit for my year car.

Not the same year, but I ran 5/8" spacers with 15x4 draglites on my 2000 GT. No fitment issues and no grinding of any kind was necessary. The 1/2" is not plug and play on a 15x3.5, in most cases.

There is only one offset available for the 15x3.5 wheel and it's 1.75" if I remember right.
You'll have to either space the wheel out, grind on the caliper, or a combination of the two. I was able to use 7/16" spacers with some light grinding on the caliper on my 95.
Keep an eye on lug nut & wheel stud engagement. Stock wheel studs are already borderline too short for the Weld lugnuts. As soon as you add 1/2" of spacer behind the wheel, it gets much, much worse. I ended up putting 3" studs in the front to make sure I had enough thread engagement, based on the NHRA regs.

ok thanks, thats exactly what my set up looks like, so I guess ill order spacers and longer studs, I already got the 3 inch studs on the rear but had no clue I would need them up front too.
Thank You,
