Default 15x4 vs. 15x3.5's

I already have one 15x4, but recently found out I will need to grind the front calipers with that wheel... I dont know if one is better than the other, I'd rather go with the 15x4 if there isn't some sort of safety issue.

Also, what size tire is everyone running with the fronts? Anyone running just regular car tires? Or is everyone running the ET Fronts?

With anything but a Greg Weld or Bogart you are going to either have to grind the front caliper or run a spacer.

I'm am now running a 26x7.50R15 Sportsman 8 ply front. I have ran a VW tire before but I will tell you now that with the Sportsman front the car feels so much more stable and the front tires don't look like they are flat with only 32 PSI.

Well, they are Weld Pro Stars, and I know with the 3.5's I'll need a spacer, but if I can get away with just grinding, and keeping the 15x4 w/ no spacer, Id rather do that.

I'm running 15x4 Draglites with the same tires as Dopdbird.
