i love that drag set up look. of course who doesn't? but how are they for a DD? thanks, tom

As a DD? Not really what I would consider a great idea, I personally wouldn't do it. Even if you put DR's in the back, not fun in the rain or anything lower than 60 degrees weather. Running a 5 inch front isn't always a good idea for DD.

Isn't there any possible compromise between driving meaty rear and front DOTs and keeping enough driveability for DD? For example having a front wheel wider then 5'? What weld wheels rear and front woul advise? And what kind of tires?

Thanks.

You would want to keep the front wide like a 9" for instance this way you have a good amount of meet upfront, alot of my members actually have 2 setups.

So for instance one setup for dd and some track fun and a setup to slap on for hitting the strip. This way your running a safe setup and your not killing your tires either.

Well, make me a proposal for a meaty set up front and rear on Weld, good for DD and track, lightweight car porn with DOT rubber at both ends and I'll think about it, if you won't be able to hook me on this I'll probably get an FF15 set up when I'll be ready to spend a few thosands on new wheels...

Thanks.
