Default Would this work?

I plan on getting 17x11's in the back JUST for the track, and getting 315 or so BFG Comp T/A's or M/T E/T Streets. I would also like to throw a set of skinnies on the front ONLY for the track as well. Would those be fine driving to the track about 30 miles away? Should I consider a 17x9.5 instead? Where can I buy skinnies for our cars? I plan on getting a 3200 stall with 3.73 gears. Would I run into bad traction for daily driving going easy on it with BFG KDWS? I just want to put some skinnies on the front, and a nice wide tire on the back JUST for the track. Do the skinnies come with tires or do I have to buy those seperately?

My what a lot of questions . . .

If you are getting "track only" wheels I don't think a 17" x 11" is your best choice.

Skinny's can be driven on the street, not advisable, but can be done.

I'd put OEM front wheels on . .

Skinnies - try Bogart.

KDWS, are an ALL weather tire - W = Wet and S = Snow. So they'd be fine.

Skinny wheels do not come with tires.
