[QUOTE="justinschmidt1, post: 605917, member: 8889"] Ive been running 15x5s up front.... and honestly, I drive like an asshole and they seem more than capable off emergency stops and evasive manuevers. Maybe its because they are 5 inch rims and not 3.5...I dont know but I swear my car actually stops faster with the lightweight rims...maybe because the wheels are significantly lighter than the 18 inch chrome fr500s I was running?,...makes sense, even with the smaller surface area in the front. The handling isnt near as bad as people have made it out to be IMO...but take into account that my car is on sportlines You cant drive like jeff gordon but I have taken on ramps that my tires start squeeling at 70 on with normal wheel setup and 55 mph with no problem with the skinnies. You can feel the sidewall flex...but other than that the handling seems fine to me. I say go for it personally...just get used to how the car handles and brakes [/QUOTE]
