Hey, those front rims are on my volvo!! American Racing. I should pop them off and see if they fit, they are a 5 lug. Those back wheels are way over kill for only 400hp

Hmmm...maybe...but it depends on the torque produced and the weight of the car...you definitely want something that will hook up in order to launch the car. With the rear transaxle gone, there's not bound to be much weight back there, so the wider tread might be more of a benefit than one might initially think.

Its a Pro-Street car. They're just going for a certain look, which is why they have Mickey Thompson cheater slicks rather than a decent set of tires.
Basically, this is comparable to AppleBit's car but with emphasis on the straight line performance and not on the all around driving experience.
Some of you guys need to look outside of your rather narrow view of the performance car spectrum, you might just be surprised at some of the ideas you can poach from the other car builders. Though some of the ideas are best left in their respective niches
