For a true slick you'll need a 16 or 17 inch wheel and none of them are cheap. 18's will get you a drag radial but no slick and are considerabley cheaper.

Go for the drag radials. Cars run single digits on them all day long...

18x10s with a sticky drag radial (M/T or NT05-R 305/45-18) will work for 99.9% of the Camaros on this site, unless you are running 8s in the 1/4. Then a slick *might* work better, but even that doesn't guarantee it will. There are cars running 6s in the 1/4 at over 200 mph on the sticky drag radials nowadays.

How do sticky drag radials hold up just for street driving? Could you keep them on?

I wouldn't put slicks on a stock 5th gen Camaro SS, the car is too heavy and you don't make enough power to warrant them. I'd run a set of drag radials. Watch out for wheel hop.
