Vintage racing tire sizes?
#1
I'm restoring a '60 Rupp Super K Dart... when I got it it had 4" steel wheels on the front, and 6" Azusa Tri star aluminum wheels on the back.  I'd like to keep the 6" wheels on the back, and put a matching set of 5" Tri stars on the front.  

A couple of questions:

Are there any disadvantages to this?  

Any issues with vintage racing rules relative to this wheel size?

Also, it seems the vintage narrow slick sizes are hard to come by, Vintage speed doesn't list any for 6" wheels on their website -- Anyone know of a good source?  I see Cheng Shin slicks on ebay in 4.10-3.5-6.

Any advice is appreciated!
