Default Cutting 97 Wagon Wheels.......

I WAS THINKING ABOUT HAVING MY STOCK FRONT 17" WAGON WHEELS CUT DOWN TO 17" X 4.5".
THE STOCK LOOK YET HAVING LESS RIM UP FRONT FOR DRAG RACING.
CCW"S ARE TOO EXSPENSIVE FOR ME RIGHT NOW. AND ALSO, I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT........
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ?
ANYONE OUT THERE DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS ?
AND ANYONE KNOW SOMEONE THAT DOES THIS IN FLORIDA ?
THanks............

Sounds like a good idea, I guess you would use 17's in the rear.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT SIZE TIRES YET.
BUT, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS 17'S ( tires ) that looked to be only 6" wide....... at the time i looked at them i was not expecting to chop rims or i would have saved the name and size of the tires.
