Default Need advice on Weld rims....

15x3.5 weld prostar fronts with 165's on them, and 15x8 rears with 275 mickey thompson ET drags are a fine setup for drag use. For the street i would use either there drag radial in 275/50/15 or a nitto drag radial if it will see more street miles. And use the same size.

Legally no, but of course you have to drive different when you use them on street. Meaning you dont go around corners fast as you can bend the rims and of course it wont brake as fast aswell. I wouldnt use little and bigs setup on the street full time on a DD if thats what your going after.
