Weld ProStar knockoff - one of the most popular street / strip wheels I see at the track on various vehicles.

Why would you go with 7" up front, just go 8" all around.

To be honest I am not really sure, just from reading other postings it seemed like that what every one else is doing this is my first build and just following the the lead of other post but I am open for suggestion on 7 vs 8 on the front what are the advantages and disadvantages. I have BFG T/A 275/60r15 on the back and 215/65r15 on the front I would like a little bigger front tire

I'm in the process of buying new tires and rims for my challenger and I'm going with 245/45/17 with 4 1/2" backspace all around.

If you read through the tire combo section on this site you will find a lot of great info (it is very long though)

Here is a great size calculator

I'm sure other more knowledgable members will chime in.
