    I daily drive my Capri in the summer with 15 x 3.5's with 165/80/R15 tires and no sway bar ... as long as you drive the car like it's got 15 x 3.5 wheels with narrow tires on the front, it should be fine.

    That said - on a new edge car that I took to the track occasionally ... I might be inclined to use a 5" wheel as more of a street wheel. Those cars can tolerate more wheel up front for the look and you would have more tire for better braking and handling.

    FWIW, my 3.5 ProStars was made before they marked them this way. The problems with them came from heavy cars on the street trying to handle like road racers.
