Default looking for traction. Wider wheel in front ok?

I know this a kind of the wrong forum but i want to know if it would be ok for me to run 15x7 up front with 225 bfg drs and 15x6 in the back with a 195 tire. This is not my DD but is drivin on the street.

Thanks, Doug

Do it..But get full slicks instead of drag radials..Unless you want to drive it on the street like that. Also, do you have a traction bar and LSD?

Technically speaking, it could help a tad for the 60ft. The higher the rear end (as well as higher spring rate) lessens weight transfer off the front, which helps. Why is it you never see a seasoned racer piloting a car with a slammed ***-end?
