front wheel help
Can anyone tell me if either 15x4.5 rims with 1.75" backspacing, or 15x7 with 3.75" backspace are suitable for the front of a pretty stock ball
joint Baja with cheetah kit, and what tyres will suit?
Thank you.

best of having a 5" or 5.5" rim on the front as a 7" will be too wide ,you will want a 195 or 205 wide tyre

Is 4.5" too narrow? The wheels i'm looking at come in the above two sizes.

4.5" inch is ok with a 185 tyre ,will make steering easier

Cheers mate. The other option is I can get 14x6 for the front, but I hear there isn't much choice for all terrain tyres.

Ok, here's the story. I already have 15x8.5 chev 5 slots for the back. So which is the better option for the front?
I can either get, 15x4.5 with something like 185/70r15 tyres.
or, 14x6 and 205/75r14 tyres or something?
