I'd like to put a set of Weld Pro Stars on my car. I'll apologize in advance for the stupid questions, believe it or not I did read the FAQ section but I'm still a little lost.
If I go with the 15x10 wheel in back can I put a wider drag radial on these, like the 315/60 ? If so how much "massaging" would I have to do to the wheel well?
The other question I have is instead of running skinnies up front is it possible to run say a 15x5, 15x6, or 15x7 wheel ? I was looking on Sumitt's site and it looks like the only options for these are 3.5 or 4.5 BS. I assume these might stick out too far ?
Reason I ask is I don't drive the car every day and if possible I'd like to go with something a little wider than the 3.5 skinnies up front. That way I can leave the wheels on the car for street driving and have a little bit more stability.
Thanks

On the 15x10s you can go big like a 325 (28") tire with some BFH'ing and possible removal of the bumpstops and rolling of the fenders. I doubt you can run the 15x5+ Summit wheels up front and get them to clear the brake calipers. With the Welds you can't go bigger than 15x3.5 on the front, 15x4 on Centerlines and Bogarts. The LS1 brakes pretty much limit you on the front of the car as to going with a wider 15" wheel.
