Steering is the least of my worries when it rains since im running ET Streets.... gotta drive reeeeal sloooow...

i test drove a GT with draglites and skinnies up front and like FoxRod said, the braking was HORRIBLE. not only that but the front end slid around alot (it was raining)

you definitely need to run atleast 215's upfront and i wouldnt run skinnies unless u got 4 wheel disc brakes

FoxRod

Sorry if this is going a little off subject but does Weld make Draglites for the front that are like 5 to 6 inches wide instead of the 3.5? Maybe that would be an option. Still skinnier than stock but a hell of a lot lighter and still giving you go steering and braking.

That might be a solution an id be surprised if they didnt make em... mine are 3.5... just dont remember the backspacing.... aint a lot though...

thanks guys mine is not a dd it is track only at 6mpg cant afford to drive it every day i bought a 87 chevy s10 for 500,4cyl 4 speed great gass mileage

Well I just checked and they do have a 15x5 and a 15x6 so I might look into getting the 15x6. Inch and a half skinnier than stock and a whole hell of a lot lighter and still gives you the same wheels all the way around. Also I really want this



wheel but I've been told that they don't make these anymore and that if you could find them that getting the 3 bar knock-off would be impossible.

Ebay is your friend.....

Skinnies weren't really made to be driven in the rain. So little tire to road surface contact. What would you expect?

dont plan on driving on the street much, i found a guy that might trade me a set of draglites for my stock pony rims fronts on them are good but the back are trash, mine have tires that are 6 mounths old good deal or not
