how fat and how skinny on ponies?

Hey guys I was wondering what the widest and skinniest tire you could mount on the pony rim, Its time for new meats and I want to do something that looks pretty good, because the 245's I have in the front look kinda funny. Thanks,
John

Look funny? The reason you put skinnies on front is to save weight, but a signifigant amount of the weight you save is from smaller wheels, you're not gonna get much from smaller tires.

The tires I Have on the car are 245 Firestone Svx's all around. For some reason they look so huge on my car in the front, and everyone laughs at me for it, I just want some smaller tires in the front, plus I dont have the money for a new set of rims.
