Installed my skinnies (prostars)

I finally got my front Prostars on, and snapped a few pictures to share. Yes, I know my car is filthy right now

its either 185/65 or 185/60.

I wouldn't put standard tires on them though. I'm using tires made for drag.

That 185/65 tire is not intended for wheels narrower than 5.0". The tire is more than 1" smaller in diameter than the stocker. The Weld Pro-Star 3.5" wide wheels are not legal for street use - although Weld (bought out by American) now shows the Pro-Star as a "1-piece forged alloy". When did they stop making them in two pieces? Do they still have the thick, floppy spacer sandwiched in the center section? Did they remove the "drag racing only" stamp from the 3.5" wheels?
