Front runners
Looking for some advice on front runners. My 78 camaro has the weld drag light 3.5/15 runners on the front and to me there just to small. Looking for a larger tire and rim combo for the front of my Chevelle. The tires for the 3.5 rim are very small looking. I've seen some old drag pictures where they run a larger tire that fills the fender well with a decent size tire. I do want to stay with the skinnier tire in the front just not that skinny. Any suggestions maybe some pictures. Thanks Gentleman

Re: Front runners
Here are some pictures of my car with different wheels up front.
15X3.5 Center Line Wheels with 7.10X15 Moroso Drag Special tires.  15X4 Cragar SS with same tires as above.  14X6 Ansen Torque Thrusts with F70-14 Mickey Thompson Indy Profile tires.

Re: Front runners
The F70-14 tires are a little wider but shorter than the 7.10 Moroso. I personally like the taller-skinny tires up front. It's a little bit of a challenge to drive but worth it anywhere I take it as people really like the look.

I agree with kurt.I like the look of the taller-skinnier tires.My Opinion go with 7.10 Morosos.

Re: Front runners
Coker Tire like Jim said.
BF Goodrich: 7.10X15 blackwalls. 6.70X15 blackwalls. There are a couple more they have with the correct side wall look you need. Kurt's chevelle always has the classic look and the performance to go with it. Looks and runs just like a "real" car out of the late 60's early 70's.
