Will be purchasing some draglites with my tax money and was wondering what size front rims/tires I should get.
It's a street car so I don't want to go too skinny, so maybe a 15x5?
I have stock front brakes, and I run strange coil-overs.
So, i'll need to clear both of those.
My old cobra r's rubbed on the lower spring perch of the coil-over, so I know some wheels would give me a problem.
I'm running a stock 15x7 10hole rim with a 235/50? tire on it.
No rubbing issues at all, so if that helps.

Thanks

if your going to go skinny go SKINNY no halfwaying it. grab a 15x3.5 with a 165r15 tire. will look good.

I agree, I have no problem daily driving my slicks and skinnies. I dont for tire life, but skinnies are fine on the road, theres only few SMALL differences, and youll be able to learn them right away. Fat welds up front look horrible.
