isn't it drag race is using "small" in the front & "big" in the rear.......

I am talking about the other way "big" rim for front & "small" rim for rear? & I saw that in circuit racing....

-The big tires go on the wheels that drive the car, so a rear wheel drive drag racer will have the bigger wheels in back and vice versa for FWD.
As stated before, some evo guys have put the smaller wheels in back when circuit racing to induce oversteer and powerslides

weight savings

the back wheels are just riding along (fwd cars, it's not making any power) in drag racing

-and slightly less drag.
