Diff tire size front to back with drag setup??

If I choose to run a 27 * 10.5 or a 28 in the rear is there anything wrong with a 26 up front?? I see they offered a 27 ect in the front runners. Is there any negatives to doing this? Thanks for the help.

Nope, nothing wrong with it. You want less mass up front, and almost everyone with a 28" rear tire has a 26" front (on fbods at least). It will throw your ABS sensors through a loop and light up the dash with your ABS INOP, TCS, and BRAKE lights, but it won't affect the car other than disabling TCS and ABS. I run 28's on the rear and 26's on the front on my street setup.

Got ya I had some of those Kumho stars that are like 25" or something like that. My front stance was so low it looked bad and I couldn't trailer without a big hassle front bumper would hit.

I'd like to fit some 27.5 fronts it would be perfect just wondering how bad it will rub in the fenders? I don't care about rubbing as long as it's only during hard turning any other problems with a 27.5" front keep in mind a 28" rear?

I don't think a 27.5 will fit the front fender well, and you will most likely have turning problems if the wheel is very wide at all.

Thanks 'Trust' I'll go with 26" to be safe I really would like 27.5" but I can't afford to waste money if they don't work I've measured and measured and it would be real close. I've also read a lot of people on here ripping there fenders up trying to use 27.5" then again others have with only problems in a sharp turn.
