You want rims smaller than 6in? Ok, your personal choice on that but why? A 6in print would be fine with a 78 F150 and I don't think you'd see much difference in time slips with a smaller print rim. I know .001 of a second can be the difference between winning and loosing but I'd want to be able to steer the weight to the finish line. Just my opinion......of course if we knew what type front suspension work you've done maybe we could help you better. Do you have the Vic swap done? Are you running a straight axle up front? Are we looking at the same factory bolt pattern cause your still on Ibeams?

Give us more info and maybe someone on here will have your answer.....

5 x 5.5" bolt pattern? Summit lists several options in a 4.5" aluminum wheel. Also a few in narrower width. "Rocket Racing Wheels" and "Circle Racing Billet Wheels".
