Front tire/rim combo question

[Ont67shortbox]

I have a 67 shortbox, what are you guys running at the track for front tires/rims? 15x5, 15x6? etc and what size and brand of tire. The engine is almost done,should be on track by mid May, just want to tie up the loose ends.Thanks

Mine are the cragar prostars 15x3.5 they look just like the Weld aluma star with 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern,(ford car) Great deal at the swap meet... Helps to be a machinist.. The tire are 195/15. Not a 60 or 70 just 195/15 The dealer told me they were stock VW bug tires? The rears were 15x12 bolt pattern are 5 on 4.750 .... Now i know why they were such a good deal two diff bolt patterns but the were Still in the box

does weight constitute how skinny of a rim you can run up front? it just seems like my Iron-headed big block would fold 15X3.5 or something over

[scatesracing]

With the spool in the back It will shove the front tires real easy when turning into a drive or something like that. I would think that a dot wheel should handle the weight of a big block just fine... And there are a lot of big blocks in drag cars with skinny wheels at the track......

yea I was thinking about that as well seeing tons of little ol' 30's coupes with SUPERSKINNIES and still driving but oi never dawned on the push through idea....Sweet now i can have some nicer looking skinny wheels thanks
