Streetable Radial Setup for Daily driving

So I was looking around on some other forums and found two good radials that members have used on their F bodies as daily drivers.

Toyo Proxes TQ
Nitto NT 555 R Tires 180490 - SummitRacing.com

Now I was wondering where I would be able to find rims that would fit these tires. The sizes I would need would have to be: 16x7 through 16x10.5, or 15x7.5 through 15x9.5, with the bolt pattern of 5x115.

Here are a couple I have found and wanted to know if the prices were good, the quality of the brand is good, and if there is any website you guys would recommend.

Ultra Wheels 16x7 Silver Wheel Platinum Flair 5x100 5x115 296 6713s 40 Offset | eBay

I have been looking everywhere and it is hard to find 5x115 bolt pattern.

Thanks guys !:D
 


Just to get things straight, these radials are for an F-body?

Because if you are talking about your GXP, 16's are too small to clear your GXP brakes. IIRC

why do you want to go with rims smaller than your 18's,can't you just get some streets for your existing rims?

Because I want radials and I can't find any frim radials with good reviews that are 18x8, and I also just got new street tires
 


BFG g-Force T/A come in 18s and are sticky, but you will never get the kind of traction like you would with a 16 or 17.

And yes you need 17s to clear the calipers, so your best bet is to buy some 17x9 Mustang wheels and throw some drag radials on them.
