Default what size front wheels?

i am looking to get a set of drag wheels. i am looking at 15 and 17 inch front wheels. the 15's are 3.5" and the 17's are 4.5" wide. first off, i am not sure if the 15" clear stock rotors? if they do, does the size of the wheel really matter? i will have to get a street friendly tire so i can drive it to the track (i will only use these at the track but the car will be driven there). i am running 16" M/T 255 tires in the rear if that matters any. thanks.

Depends what front 15" wheel you're looking at. Only Bogarts, and Weld Racing R/T wheels (and centerlines (gay)) will clear your stock brakes, unless you go to a 17x4.5 Weld Alumastar, which is what I use in the front, with a 15x10 Weld R/T rear wheel. Welds 15x3.5 R/T wheels are very street friendly, the 17s are not at all a street wheel.
