Getting ready to change my front disc setup over to a 9" drum Wilwood kit and going to order a set of Streetlites.
What is the concensus on size for front? Do most go with the 3.5" or 4.0" wheel with 2.25BS? I plan on running the MT 6652 S/R front runners. Just thinking for street driving the 4" would be a tad better for handling (or lack thereof)?

I run the 3.5" front wheels, I needed them to tuck under the fender as far as possible because of the Wilwood brakes. Rears are 15x10.

thanks, sorry forgot to mention that...yes, its a stock a-body housing, which is why i never narrowed it...they are kinda rare and bring the money, so i kept it that way...rims in the rear are 15x10's with 7.5" of backspace...it was either these, or prostars/draglites, and ive seen too many bad pictures of failed welds on the street...plus i think these street lites look sweet! SFI approved, street legal, and their are light to boot!

I am planning on running a 3/4 offset and 15x10's with 5.5BS and 275/60/15 MT ET Streets. From what I have seen in pics they'll fit pretty nicely. Unfortunately I'll have to wait then add the -1 mono leafs and caltracs in the spring. Quote:

sounds good man! ive always thought a 275 under a duster looks real mean! I wish i could have gone with a deepdish wheel, since this style looks awesome that way, but i still love em...whatever you do, post some pics for us when she's done!
