Default Using space saver spare RIMS for front runners.

I am trying to get some biasply tires on my fiero, and I can not find a 15x5 inch rim for it. I could run a 15x6 if I was crafty, which would fit a sportsman bias ply from MT.

I would rather end up with a true drag skinny, but there is NO such thing as an affordable front rim for me. Anything wrong with using the space saver spares from a neon? 15x4 with the correct spacing.

What's the bolt pattern? I'd have to imagine someone makes a skinny for it, since you're asking about using a Neon spare, and I've seen neons with skinnies on them. A sportsman pro front tire from M/T will fit a 3.5-6.5" rim

Sportsman pro is what I have been looking at, but I was holding out for a 5inch rim.

I have found a select amount of skinnies, but for the money I would rather look for something else... Right now I would end up spending well more than $175 each for a front rim... and due to the fact I am a cheap ***, I would be quite pissed I spent 3x as much for front wheels and tires than I did rear wheels and tires.

I am working on setting up a 10.5 inch drag radial setup for when I street race the car next year.

If by front runners you mean for track use, most tracks won't allow this. If by just skinny front wheels is what you're saying, ebay. . . 396, it's a small GM bolt pattern . . .
