15x12 for the front? What do you mean they don't make 15x12 in 5x5? What wheels are you looking for specifically?

If that's the case and you cannot find the wheel you want in 5x5 look for some wheel adapters.

Have you looked at the Billet Specialties "Street Lite" series. They may be your wheel...

ya im wanting skinnies (15x4) in the front, and fats (15x10) in the rear. i found that Centerlines make all their wheels in 5x5 big chevy lug patterns. so i went with the Centerline Qualifier wheel.

Adapters wouldnt be very safe on the track

If that's the case and you cannot find the wheel you want in 5x5 look for some wheel adapters.
