Default skinnys and ET streets

I might be trading my staggered Bullit wheels for a set of Greg Weld wheels. The guy said the rear wheels have ET streets on them, and of course the fronts are skinnys.

I am wondering how the skinnys are on the street? Are they good for a daily driver? and my car is lowered by the way with no caster camber plates yet so I have negative camber. If its going to handle like crap then I'll just stick to staggered wheels.

Why in the world would you run skinnies or ET Streets for that matter on the street?

I ran MT ET Streets on my 08 Supercharged Mustang GT with a nick over 450whp just to test them out, they were fun but things get slippery up top for obvious reasons (no thread, concrete). That combo ( ET's, skinnies) would be fun to drive around for fun; burn outs, hard launches, then put regular tires back on, but no way would I drive like that lol

I kinda figured that haha, but I would definitely put regular street tires on the rims. I just wanna know how skinnys are for a daily driver.

The "Look" will be great, but it will push the front end through the twisty's.

This would be a really terrible setting for daily driving. If you are concerned with handling as you mentioned, the narrow tires up front will have you in a ditch or up a tree in no time.
