That's the dumbest **** I've ever read. It has more to do with the driver than the wheel. I've daily drove on 15x3.5s for almost 4 years now and never had an issue, you just have to be responsible. 15x6s will not fit on the front of these cars, the front brakes are too big, even with grinding. I had 15x6s on the front of my 1972 Camaro and hated them, sold them for 15x3.5s. Plus 15x6s look gay as aids.

For the love of god don't run a cheap Volkswagon metric tire rated for a 1,000lb car. Run a real front tire like a Mickey Thompson Sportsman front or S/R Radial front.

maybe its the dumbest **** but in my country we got ALOT of ******** that dont know how to drive and get in your lane like they own the road thats why we dont want to run 4s or 3.5s incase some ******* crashed into the car there is a small chance to avoid them BTW a friend of mine almost died in his 97 Z28 with skinnies up front they broke without any reason and he was cruising so this is the 2nd reason why we dont want to go with skinnies

This is why I want to find someone with an LT1 who will trade brakes with me.

Well, M/T Sportsman Fronts in 26x7.5-15 are the perfect size, and what everyone runs. But they fit best on smaller rims, like 3.5s or 4s.

That's what I use. They're the MT-1573's (8 ply).
