Opinion: Front Draglite 15X7

MY91GT · 04-22-2001, 11:09 PM

I'm thinking about going with a 15X7" front draglite and a 15X8" on the back...any thoughts on how it would look? I do use the car for highway driving and I dont know if I really want the 3.5" fronts....I just wanted to know if the 7" were ok for the fronts...any opinoins are appericated.

It will work/look just fine.I've seen alotta people do this around my area.

At the same time though,I drive with my 3.5" fronts with draglites everywhere.You just can't drive like a Madman around corners at 120mph or anything

Thanks for the input. I'm not really swayed in either direction, I wish there was a deciding factor on which rim to for with. I will be using the rims for daily driving and on the highway, but I will also have a set of ponys if I need them.

Go with 3 1/2 in front. You can't beat the look plus if you plan on going on any far trips you could always throw the pony's on. Just my opionin.

Why not compromise and go with 5"? That is what I am considering when I do a tire/wheel changaroo sometime in the future.
