Welds usually have both GM & Ford bolt patterns, but the prostars look like they don't. GN's have a 5x4.75" pattern. If you want 255's on the back, an 8" Rim work work fine, with a 4" backspace, or even a 3.5" backspace to set the rim a little further out. I was running 15x10 Weld draglites with 26x10.5x15 M/T slicks on the back of mine using 4.5" Backspace. For a 225 tire in the front, a 7" rim would probably be OK, with a 3.5" backspace. I just bought a set of 17's from a member here, and am planning on using a 245/45/17 on the 8" rear, and a 225/40/17 for the 7" front.
