Need help with tire size for skinnies

[gimpydude]

I'm looking at getting a pair of these:
Greg Weld Motorsports 92-745342P - Greg Weld Polished Racelite Series 92 Dragstar Wheel - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I would just like some input on a tire size for the front. Thanks for the help.

are you going to be daily driving on these skinnies or will they be track only?

Track only

That is a pretty wide wheel for track only, but my recommendation is to go with the Goodyear Front Runner. Your biggest decision then will be what tire height to choose. Here is a link to tire data.

Would be cautious here in terms of speed ratings. I ran a set of these back in 2000 but the car was going 11.90s at 115 or so. Just be careful.

I decided on a set of m&h racemaster 26x4.5x17 tires for the front. Thanks for the input.
