Default Swapping from metric 165R to ET Fronts, what size?

Gonna get rid of the front metrics to save some weight and was planning on getting a set of ET Fronts and was wondering what size I need? They'll be for a set of Bogarts 15x3.5 I believe. Thanks.

Also, how much lighter are the ET Fronts than the 165R?

i'll give you a hint. open up your copy of jegs/summit and look up ET Fronts. THERE IS ONLY ONE 26" TALL TIRE LISTED

na, i feel for xaon. dragaholic tends to ask a lot of questions over and over and over and over again.

its like he never does any research, he just posts questions. this is a great example. picking up ANY catelog or search will show there is only one size close to that. 26"

a 28" is available but is pretty crazy for our cars lol

I didn't know if they should be 26s, shorter or taller. I'll be swapping from a 26" slick to a 29.5" slick. Wasnt sure since I was going with a much bigger tire that I may need to up the size a bit in the front. Thanks for your help.
