I'd very much like to see numbers from someone.
In a perfect world, we'd all run dragster/sandrail fronts.

Weld Racing Magnum Import Drag Wheels - JEGS

They come in 15x3.5! Of course, they cost a fortune, too.
At the very least, it would be tempting to find a set of really skinny wheels for the back of my car, which would give me a lot more clearance to do skirts, on top of having the benefits of skinny tires.
