tire/wheel combo

Ok, I have decided until I get the extra cash for a 5 lug conversion, I am just gonna go with some wider wheels instead of the skinnies up front (for daily driving). The car has some weld draglite's and looking at the wheels I can go 15x7 or 15x8. For this 92 fox, what would you guys suggest, as well as tire size? I am not too worried about the skinnies other than bending them on some of the nasty potholes we got down here =/ But I will hang on to them for runs at the track

Ok from a lot of reading and looking at what wheels and tires are out there, and know how hard I can corner.. I am thinking of this setup for the front... 15x8 draglite's with some 205/50WR15 kumho exsta mx tires. What do you guys think? I am gonna head to discount tire after work and talk to them guys. They say they can order the draglite's and whatever tire I want.

Ok, disregard =) I called up Summit and got a great deal. Ordered some 15x7 draglite's and some BFG T/A 215/60/15's for the front. I must say, I have never dealt with Summit before and their customer support and technical knowlege is GREAT! One think I liked as well was the fact you can send them money through Western Union, for people like me without a credit card. This should solve my problem considering the skinnies are atleast half the width of these new wheels and they are not too wide that it is gonna greatly drag down the front of the car either. h0h0, can't wait to get em :gt4her:
