You could always do a 17x4 on the front. That looks like a decent set-up.

I've been dd'ing mine for three weeks now with no pwr steering and no front sway bar, been through a couple rain showers, and it wasn't a big deal. Just be a conscious driver, that's all. Nothing stupid and don't try to corner fast.

That would be a much smarter idea, I'm considering that.

How would a 17x4 be any different than a 15x4?

I've done it, just gotta try and avoid the evasive lane changes and fast curves.

What do you mean by this statement?
Are you saying that F bodies don't handle well to begin with?

yeah, i can bust a lane change just as fast on my drag wheels than my 17s lol, like i said i just dont think its a good idea, but if you drive smart , you can get away with it, but like i said i have had some close calls that wouldnt of happend if i had a street set up on at the time, what i was thinking was a 17x7 front, i do think it would be as bad as a 15x4, i have seen a few people run streetlights in a 17x7 ,anyone that has them care to comment

I've thought of getting the dragstar 17x7's so at least they'd match the rears other than size, but my 15x4's are working just fine. I just drive smart. Unlike much of the NWA drivers around here, I pay attention to whats going on all around me instead of only myself... haha
