3.5" limits tire size quite a bit. 4" is more versatile. But, if it's strip only, the 3.5" is ok.

I have the 3.5" and use VW Bug tires. They measure 165R/15. The wheels aren't wide enough for anything larger. These tires are very narrow, and stand around 25" tall. They're cheap too.

Thanks for the reply.
How does your car feel at the far end of the track with the bug tires?

Feels just fine. I run them street and strip. They're just not made for high speed turns. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I run 135x15 on the front of mine now for 3 years street strip no problems. Yes it aint going to corner and is easy to lock the front tires up so be careful.
