Get another spare rim and add M&H front runners, weighs around 25lbs each

Great idea!! Is it ok to use those at high speeds?

The rims them selves, yes. Not the stock tires

Ohh cool--Im running drag radials at the track so I could use a skinny radial. What size would be good to use up front on those?
