Do you run drag wheels daily? Does anyone run a 225-60-15 up front & a 275-50/60-15 in the rear daily? I know running a skinny up front daily is not a good idea, but what about a 225-60-15 on a 7" wheel up front? Can you do this with out a problem?

I know people that have run skinnies up front for years all year around with absolutely no problems...It's not a problem if you don't think you're Speed Racer going around a corner at Mach 5.

I was running a 165 on a 15x3.5" rim daily, so you should be fine. The 165's were doable (as long as you remember they're there), but I got tired of having to take turns like a grandma

i really like the look, and i dont have to worry as much about the rear end commng around as i did with the DR's..
*edit- front sits a little higher than normal, its being disasembled for the 408 to go in so ALL that is under the hood right now is JUST the short block everything else is gone.

I run a 3.5 in the front with no issuses. Believe it or not I had to make a quick decision last week when some broad pulled out in front of me. I managed to swerve outta the way just fine.
