Default Anyone street drive their car with a 3 piece front end?

Im thinking about a widened front end since my car needs a fender and a bumper anyway, but its still a street car, and a drag car. Would like to see your setups in "street mode" with a widened front end. Maybe a brief description of what your using for tires and wheels with offset. I wont be driving mine every day, but maybe like once a week...so would a 15" race wheel with a drag radial be suitable? Or who would make a normal offset rear and then a huge + offset front to match it for street duty?

That looks awesome I would like to see pix from the side or an angle as well... I was thinking of putting some beefy radials up front for street duty myself.

And what horsepower/boost management are you using? How is the traction with the (MT?) 225's?

This thread is awesome!

This is EXACTLY my plans for my car this year, I picked up a 3pc front with the intention to run my 15x8 0-offset wheels and some wide tires!!

My car is alot like the OP, its a street car a couple times a week..

Do you have a side picture of this car. Really like the xxr wheels. Do you think the 15 by 9and would stick out from under the exospeed.

I ran those times on the M&H. The radials would be tougher but doable.

I'd be scared of hitting something in the road... Or speed bumps.
