If you found some real tires that would fit the rims you might be OK. Not sure what's out there for super skinny 16" tires. I was thinkin motorcycle tires but they're not gonna hold the weight of a full body car. T buckets and such can get away with cycle tires on the front skinnies. I actually think I saw some clown at the drag strip with space savers on the front. I think it was a beater G body car.

I just read the warning on the space saver the other day. The 50mph speed limit is if you are using the tire on the rear of the car. It plainly states that if used on the front the speed limit does not apply. I think with a good tire that fits it would be fine. I wouldn't do it though

they are 17" alloy rims painted balck and they look cool also
