Yea im just not willing to take that chance because the more I think about it I live in Dallas/Fort Worth and with the aggresive driving up here I dont want to risk someone making me swerve suddenly or having a blowout. Im just going to do something from OE for now and purchase a drag setup at a later date. Ive got some things to get knocked out before I hit the track anyways. Thanks for yall input.

You will be fine running them on the street, just don't drive like a mad man.

Mine were on a 15X8 in the rear and 3.5s up front..

I have never heard of anyone having a problem. My car was also VERY lite in the front. I wouldn't worry about it but it is up to whoever is buying them of course.
