melloyello Oct 11th, 08, 2:02 AM i really really like the look of the skinny front wheels....has anyone changed out their front rally wheels to a 4 in or 6 in?....is it practical?.....i have 8 in now in the front.....has it effected the handling at all?...likes and dislikes? VinceS427bb Oct 11th, 08, 2:48 AM lots of guys have skinny front rims. you will have less traction for braking and turning as far as handling. i like the look, but you must be sure the tires are rated high enough to handle the weight and speed of you ride. :) Mr Chevelle Oct 11th, 08, 1:55 PM i really really like the look of the skinny front wheels....has anyone changed out their front rally wheels to a 4 in or 6 in?....is it practical?.....i have 8 in now in the front.....has it effected the handling at all?...likes and dislikes? At the track I run 15X6 GM rallys with 195/75 tires on the front of my 1967.....no problems even around town. melloyello Oct 11th, 08, 10:39 PM why the /75 are they taller?.....i need the BF Goodrich T/A radial raised white letter....and the TireRack only has 195/60...i wonder if they'll be okay?....

They were left over from a 55 Chevy but fit the wheel pretty good. The 195/75 actually looked better on the 55's 5" rim. Wouldn't a 60 series tire ruin the skinny look you're after? melloyello Oct 12th, 08, 1:08 AM thats why i made this post....i'm looking for the exact tire and rim i like before i purchase....a /60 might be too low profile flpackerbacker Oct 19th, 08, 2:42 PM just install 3.5 rim with 165/80r15 bfg front runners.need to go slow in corners but have had no issue in stopping so far.have 4 wheel disc.have alsways run the skinnies so I know not to follow to close. eric:beers: sg5492 Oct 19th, 08, 9:36 PM I have had the 3.5" wheels on a lot of cars (2 of them in my sig 57 Chevy & 87 Monte SS) no problems. I even had them on a daily driver when I was in high school. Jim Mac Oct 19th, 08, 10:22 PM go to summit racing and look up there tire sizes under bfgoodrich, it'll tell you how tall the 60 series tires are and I think you'll find that they are a bit small for a chevelle. 205 75 15s look good with a skinny wheel. I ran 205s on my 3.5 front runners. It always looked flat, sidewall rolled in. Ive got 205 75's on a set of 5 inch welds and they look fine. jim | ||
