there was a guy not too long ago that posted a pic with these I belive in 16x11 and he was running something like a 205/50/16,,,it looked pretty wild.

Im looking for a set of these wide steelie type wheels for the winter time.

I actually don't think a smaller wheel with a meaty tire looks bad on a 'drag" car.
I like the look when form follows function.
If you like the wheels, do it.





With a matching or complimentary wheel, this would look great to me..... Cover the front wheel and take a look.

If other types of wheels or even stockers can look ok in 16s then i think it can be pulled off if done right. I voted No in the poll tho 16s are way to small for SCs in my opinion.

I shot that car, it was previously owned by Supralative. There's something about street and drag packages that sets them off nicely. These were 15's in the rear, basically the smallest wheel you can fit over our brakes. You would be amazed how much tire the SC's can fit underneath.
