Hey,
I think I may have found a solution for the front rim at a low cost..A Nissan OEM spare wheel with a front runner biased ply tire mounted to it..Anyone know the spare tire size off hand??

If you find something let us know.

I should be done w/ my car soon and I think with the new power that I'll have the same issues as you because I run 245's up front.

coach-I think one350zfan hit it on the head when he said the wide fronts compare to the rear would act like skis, the SMALLEST steering input would be multiplied weith these slicks compared to the old ones.

BTW-this is my new "slow" lift throttle shifting

I needed to quote this and post...

HOLY ****ING ****

CCW www.ccwheel.com custom made my drag setup - maybe Sharif will get some time to post some pics

IMO CCW makes a great product, they're local (FL) and will custom make you pretty much any size wheel you want, I deal with John over there - John is always available to take phone calls and is very knowledgeable.
