Default Leaving 15x3.5 on a car for a long time?
If I leave a 15x3.5 on a car for a long time would it cause any extra stress on the wheel since it is a 3.5 only. I dont really want to be switching wheels everytime I go to the track.

I have heard that they can break if you take a sharp turn, and it would suck to slam on the breaks with that small of a tire, thats why my prostars are 15x6 up front

i woudn't run with those tires on there all the time that is too small to run on the street with that type of car. Plus you wouldn't get the kind of handling that you want out of them

If he's running 15x3.5 I doubt he wants to autocross with it. You have to be willing to take it easy around the curves. Theres been plenty of people drive with these wheels and have no problems.
