Rim/ Tire weights

does anyone know the weight difference between Welds, Summit, and Centerline racing wheels? also i know the smaller the tire the less rotational weight so does that mean i should go with a smaller diameter front tire? i can get 22.5" tall fronts but itll give me one hell of a rake and im not sure how that would work with weight transfer. let me know what you guys think.

Thats the best I could find. Don't really care to search more. Just try searching LS1Tech. Everything is on there somewhere.

you do not want a short front tire for many reasons. First, they will ride like crap and easily get damaged (wheel/tire). Second, a taller tire will give you more roll out and keep you in the beams longer essentially, getting a head start on the timers. Third, a larger roll out will give you less rolling resistance. Fourth, short fronts just look stupid. Get a 165r15 radial and it will look cool and serve the purpose you need.
