Don't run those wheels without skinnies on the front, do NOT use radial tires up front at all. You're going to have to modify parts, change studs etc with a weld wheel.

Steve,

I came across this looking something else up but you have my interest piqued so I was hoping you could expand on this 2nd paragraph a bit. More precisely, "Dont run these tires without Skinnies up front" Can you expound on that? In addition, "do NOT use radial tires up front at all." What can happen when mixing Radial and Bias front to rear or visa versa on a strip and/or Street Car?
