will this actually lower ET?

ok i bought a set of WELD PROSTARS from a friend (all 4 - $300, 15x5 fronts, 15x8 backs in mint shape off a 66nova II) and i was told that it would lower my ET, because i would be spinning less unsprung weight, and the fronts would be skinnier and then create less drag or friction whatever.
my fried that put these rims on his 88 IROC claimed to lose almost .7 in the 1/4mile but he also did a tranny upgrade to the 700R4 so he doesnt know exactly how much he gained, he suggested 3-4 tenths off the ET. what do you think?
