Have a pair of Weld Draglites on the front, 15x3.5?? Very narrow. Tires that's on it are 165/80-15. Would like to have a little more 'meat' on the front, car turns like crap. Yeah I know you shouldn't be turning on a dragstrip. It's the ride home that bugs me.

Any advice would be welcome. Or anyone local to my neck of the woods want to swap for a pair of 15x6,7,8" rim?
 
I had 205 75 15 on my pizza cutters. only thing they looked low on air because of the way the sidewalls rolled under just sitting. I ended up trading them off and installed a pair of 7 inch wide rims. tire sits better, and probably a little safer. Jim

Yeah Jim, didn't want to roll the sidewall off the rim if I ever leaned into a corner. Did they drive fairly stable like that?
 
Sid i don't think there is much you can do with the small rim. I ran the 28" sportsmans on the front of mine. They were wider but definitely not like a radial tire. You are probably better off with a 5-6 rim for better tire selection.
