Default Does anyone DD a drag package?

I was wondering if anyone daily drives their car with some sort of drag package. (like 15x10 rear wheels and 17x4 in the front) I really like the way my car would look with a drag setup, but im worried of how well it'll handle, or drive in the rain. Or am i better off having street wheels for the street and drag wheels for the track? Any input is helpful,

Im talking something like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2445/...81bd5b77_b.jpg

I drove around on 15x10s and 15x4s for a few months and it was fine in the dry as long as you didn't try to corner carve. 17x4s might handle slightly better but your still not gonna have much fun on the street with drag wheels.

As long as the roads are dry youll be good, but remember that drag racing parts arent meant for the street soo you CANT expect a too comfortable of a ride.

I run 15s all around. You're defiantly not going to be able to get brave on back roads. Constantly keeping an eye on the sky is getting old but it rides nice. The skinnys aren't an issue for me in the rain, I'm more concerned about the mickeys out back.

Well i was thinking of running like the running a drag radial that is decent in the rain, i was more worried about the skinnies, or maybe i should just run 245's up front?

been driving on fats and skinnies for 7+ years. no problems. 15x4 up front and 15x10's in the rear with 28" 325's. only had my front tire bubble once. but thats because it was very worn. just drive carefully and do pull stupid **** in curves youll be fine.
