I wanna try to go with 15" instead of 16", but I'm not sure where to get some cheap wheels to use. 16x8" wheels are easy to find used for a 4th gen, but the only 15x8's I see at sites like tacreationsusa.com are for a 2nd gen, and the backspacing is way off...I don't think they'll work. There's some 3rd gen 15x7's, but they also have the wrong backspacing. Plus I don't think a 15x7 is gonna be wide enough for a 10.5" wide tire. Is my only option for 15's to buy some draglites or something? Or are there some other cheap 15" wheels I can get somewhere? I don't wanna pay the money for draglites at the moment, so am I gonna be stuck getting 16's?

Some of those cheap steel rims that people use on pickup trucks? Maybe Pep Boys or somewhere has those in stock. Hey its not like you will be running them on the street so it may be an option.
Also, you can try a junkyard. They just have to work, not look pretty.

$45 a wheel ain't bad, I just don't wanna be spending $150 each or more for some nice draglites (at least at the moment). Is that the measurements I need? (15" dia, 8" wide, 5" backspace, 5 x 4.75" bolt circle). It says it needs 45 degree seat lugnuts...ours are 45 degree, right? Doesn't look like I'll need longer studs with those, will I?

Would 5" BS be enough? I think they'd stick out too far.

It'd be close...Convo Pros are 8" w/ 5" BS(or close to that) and don't look too bad from the front or the sides. From the back, they stick out, but it's because of the way the back of the car's shaped.
