Default 3.5 and 10 wheel setup for daily driver input request

Ok, I have read a lot of information of what it take to mount these and what size tires to use. For those that have these or have ran these, what is your take on using them for daily driving? I love the look of fats and skinnies but not sure of the quality and integrity of daily driving is. I have a 1998 Formula that I drive 20 miles a day during the week and sometimes on the freeway. Is there a set up that would be good for daily driving? Not looking for style input, just for performance input. Thanks for your help guys.

don't corner hard, and you should be fine daily driving skinnies up front. watch out for potholes curbs etc as you would with any wheel. I personally do not run them but know a LOT of people that do and they are fine. Hope this helps!

A lot harder to get stopped on a skinny than with some meat up front.

Running skinnies on the street is retarded. There have been plenty of times where I had to avoid some retard on the road that wouldn't have been possible with skinnies.

Some people will say that it's fine. Some will say otherwise. Just know that your stopping power and turn response will be affected. Sure, you can daily drive it, it's not impossible. But don't expect to stop on a dime if a kid runs out in front of you, or you expect a quick evasion of a baby stroller in the middle of the road. If you trust yourself, go for the skinnies.
