Front tire and wheel size advice
I like the skinny/fat look with respect to tires and need advice on what size to run on a mainly street car. The car will mainly be driven around town for fun and occasional blast at the track.
What do you recommended?
I do not want to go too skinny to be unsafe

Drove a '70 GS with a Dave Mongeon built 455 for 3 years (18000 miles) on 3.5 x 15 Centerline Auto Drag with 165-15 Pirellis. On the rear I used 8.5 Centerlines (4 & 7/8 back space) with 275-60-15 Goodyear TAs. Sans front sway bar and using 90/10 front shocks car drove like a charm. Bowling Green was never a problem, a 1600 mile round trip.

Have you got wheels yet or are you starting fresh?
I have a pair of 15x10 prostars for the back.
So I'm looking for fronts.
