Default 15 x 4 pro stars okay for the fronts?

I know most people run 15 x 3.5 welds up front but I found a good deal on some 15 x 4's and was wondering what the downside would be if any? Thanks. This will be my first set of drag wheels. The tires are 165/80/15

Also, I don't think theres really any weight savings if I go with 15 x 3.5's is there?

The 15x4 is just a little heavier by maybe 4lbs

Thanks, I thought it would be like 2 pounds total. Is that 4 pounds per wheel?

I run 5 inch wide front tires, I like having more tire than less.

do research before buying front 165/80/15 tires make sure that the weight is good for ur car because they will blow out
