I am looking to buy a wheel size of 15x5 for the front.. What is an appropraite size tire for that 'drag car' look. I currently have 15x8 all around and a 255/60-15 in the rear.

15x5

my old welds were 5", i ran a 195/60 and it looked pretty good, handled ok too. anything smaller and i think it would look weird on a 5".

If you want skinnies up front, why not buy a 3.5 or 4" wheel?

My build up is really slow and I only go off of opprtunity. I am bidding on the wheels on Ebay . I actually would prefer a more narrow wheel. But if I win I will settle for the 5". Perhaps I have looked at this wrong too. How much is a 3.5 or 4" ralley wheel and where would I find them?

You can get them through Wheel Vintiques and a couple other places. They cost a lot less than the aluminum wheels do.

If you go with the 5 inch though, I agree 195 or 205 is the smallest I'd go.

do you guys think a MT 26x7.50x15 sportsman front tire would look good on a 5" wheel?
