I've tried finding some for my space savers, but I don't think anyone makes them. I'm just going to get cheap skinny DOT's <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

You'll only be able to put a limited smaller tire on a stock wheel. It would look goofy, handle worse, and probably only save a very minimal amount of weight.

If you want skinnies on the front, buy a pair of 15x3.5" Welds and lightweight tires for track use.

there was a guy with a silver z28 at on of the MFBA's track rentals at US41 that had his stock 5 star wheels narrowed down to about a 16x4" wheel i think it was. he had skinnies on his car. don't remember what size though. looked pretty slick, and hardly anyone noticed it.
