Front running tires with slicks.

What front skinny tires do people like the best with drag slicks on the rear.

Just google Front runners if you want a true drag front tire. There are many to choose from.

My car has big brakes so I have used M&H Racemaster 185/55R17's on Race Star 17 x 4.5 wheels. At the time these 26" radials where all that was available. Since then M&H has come out with a 28" radial.

Frankly for street use I was not comfortable with a 4.5" rim and moved to 17 x 7" Race Stars this spring. The difference in weight between the 4.5 and 7 is 4 pounds per wheel. I am currently using BFG Advantage T/A 215/60R17's

Hey do you know what size rotors you have with your big brake kit? I have a 12 roush stage 3 and it has the 14' rotors. Im looking to get a set of the wheels you have and no one seems to know if 17's will clear my brakes or if I need to get 18's? Thanks bud

Fronts are a 14" Baer 6P. Do not see them currently on the Baer site, but here they are from AM:

No fitment issues with either the 17 x 4.5 or 17 x 7 Race Star wheels.
