3.5" front runners

Anyone run a 3.5" front runner?


Looking to do 15x10 on 5.5" and 15x3.5 on 2.5"


I have a spare set of wheels & tires, so this won't be on the car during the week.


It will see a GOOD amount of roadtime though.



Are 3.5" fronts really death like I have heard?


Looking for some input

The 3.5" fronts for city driving are not that bad actually, but for any type of long haul highway driving they are not the best to have on the front of your car, and make for some annoying trips.

It's only going to be for "hunting" on the weekend.



How is the stability of the fronts at 130mph or so?


Car will have complete fresh suspension, along with some goodies here & there.

Well to be honest I wouldn't watn to run to long at 130mph on them. But they can handle, but like I mentioned I wouldn't watn to go to long or too far drving on them at that speed. If your were to catch a bad gruve with those it can spell trouble. I got mine stuck on some railway tracks for a bit once. Scared the crap out of me at first, at only 50mph.
