I just put 15x3.5/15x10in prostars on my 96 T/A two days ago. It was kind of a pita. I am running 5/16 spacers in the front and had to do no grinding what so ever. (yes i pulled the rims back off after a test drive to confirm that they were not rubbing.) Now for the rear, this is the fun part. I picked up the rims with 295/50/15 goodyear street tires already mounted. In order to fit the wheels the bump stops had to be removed. Not just unbolted i mean completely cut off the chassis. Next I had to "massage" the inner fender well with a BFH to clear the tires. Then came the caliper grinding. Its kind of hard to describe how much to take off and exactly where. But if i had to sum it up i would say to grind the front fins down to almost nothing. By front i mean the fins closest to you if your sitting next to the wheel well. This took the most time, not because of the grinding but the test fitting. You cant just sit the rim on the lugs and spin the rim. You actually have to put a few lug nuts on and tighten it down. After you do this 4/5 times you'll be pretty annoyed.
