silly wheels question

ive found a set of draglites here locally. <ive always like the look of the weld racing draglites>. they guy wants 200 dollars for the wheels. which isnt to bad being i think the wheels are what? 150 a piece?, now heres the catch. there is 2 15x10 and 2 15x6. i dont want really skinny tired on the front will the 6 inch yield much of a skinner size then the stock wheels? isnt the 90 rs stock wheels 15x7? or? i just think really skinny tires on the front of a car is silly when you drive it around town
help!

what a silly question...lol just kidding


15x6 is pretty skinny....because even the stock 15x7s are damn skinny.....IIRC you dont want to go over 215s on a 7" wide wheel....so a 6" wide wheel wont be very wide at all. Considering the wheels they are, the previous owner was going for the 'drag' look....why not pick them up, then sell the fronts and pick up some other ones....in the end you'd still be saving on some 15x10s

I had 15x4 and 15x8s Rear tire was a 295 and it barely fit. Front was so skinny my wheels would lock up when braking moderately.
