Large & wider Front rims hinder 1/4 Et's?
Just wondering if anyone knows..

I have 245/35/19's up front on my FD3S.

I was wondering if the taller and wider
front tires may slow down my 1/4 mile times.

I will be putting my STock rear rims with
drag nittos on..

WOndering if I should just put back on
all 4 rims..

thanks

Yes they will slow you down some. Bigger wheels and tires weigh more and also have more frontal area.

We ran stock spare wheels and tires on our $2002 Challenge TII. Saved about 35lbs over 16" 300ZX wheels.
