I have a 79 malibu and i have the 15" Race star wheels in the back with a 275/60/15. I want to see if i like the 15front 15 rear setup or the 17front 15 rear setup. If anyone has pictures of these setups, doesnt matter what kind of wheel, please post them. thank you.
 
17 front and 15 in the back? I highly doubt you will see that, why have bigger wheels up front on a rwd car? Haha unless you meant it the other way around... Im thinking about going 17/18 when i get some wheels. Sorry im no help 😀

He's likely talking about drag wheels similar to what a rail dragster would run.

Cant say Ive seen that on anything other than a rail, including the one sitting at my house haha. May look cool, Id vote for 17/18 or a set of 15s with some fat meats in the back though 😀
 
Malibu with 15's on all 4 corners.

72 Nova with 17's and 15's. It's more common than you think. It allows bigger brakes in the front which is where most of the stopping power comes from.
