Hey what is the set-up on your camaro? I'm guessing 18" fronts and 15" rears? I am really thinking about doing this instead of the 15" prostars I am just torn. I have the money to do it and if I do it I want to only have to do it once and not buy 3 different sets of wheels and tires before I decide which one I really want which is the RST or RXT. I also really like the magnums. Like I said, I am torn.
How bad do you guys think a magnum, alumastar, or rxt or rst front 18" would look with 15" prostars out back? Any one have a pic of this combo? Sorry for the hijack!

The Camaro has 15x10 Weld Racing Weldstar RT wheels with 7.5" backspace, and 17x4.5 Weld Racing Alumastar fronts. I liked the 15/17 combo a lot on my Camaro.

Man that looks absolutely killer. I love that look. The prostars don't look to much different than the weldstars. It looks like the weldstars have a beadlock? I am really thinking about a 17x4 alumastar or RTS front runners and the prostar rears. Did the 15" weldstars fit without grinding?

Personally I think if you would of forgo'd the clear coat and left it kinda flat like your wheels almost, I think it would of looked killer. Either way I love tinted tails, as I just tinted mine the other day. I am still considering taking them off and hitting them with a coat of clear, but I am trying to decide if I like the rough flat black look first.

3,800 rpm launch, you can see where I peddled it about 2 feet out, and where I grabbed second lol.

I know I'm semi-resurrecting a thread here (4 months old)?
I have an 02 SS and I'm in the market for a drag wheel setup.
I'm going with 15x10 RTS rims on a 7.5 BS with medium pad for the back.
I was thinking Weld RTS 17 x 4.5 rims for the front (I can't go with 15" rims because the prev owner put Stoptech brakes on the front, and I don't want to get rid of them).
Now I am thinking of the 17" Alumastars because of Camaro396's car!
I was looking at skinny 17" front tires on the jeg's website... and the only drag/skinny front tire in 17" diameter rim I could find was the M&H front runners (http://www.jegs.com/i/M-H/676/MSS-01...oductId=752031)
There must be other 26" tall skinny front tires for a 17" rim, right? I was hoping to get a tire with more tread than the M&H front runner... for street driving...
The reason I'm hung up on 26" tires is that I have heard you run into ABS problems when the front/rear tires are not the same diameter?
So... are there more than one skinny/drag tire available in 26" diameter for a 17" rim?
Camaro396, what tire are you running on the front of your Camaro?
