18" front and rear drag setup suggestions? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've been reading through the forum but still trying to nail down a 17"-18" front skinny and 18" rear drag radial setup that wont break the wallet too too much. I'm thinking Mickey ET Street R's P305/45R18 for the rear, front I want to do a similar height 17" or 18" skinnies. This setup is just for swapping on at the strip. Any suggestions for wheel and tires?

another c5 peep mentioned that Nittos are on sale? if that's the case the 05R is a IMHO very nice tire...when I had my guy mount them we used bead sealer(can't use screws on tubeless)..last season ran them at 17psi and they only slipped once and that was only a 1/4 in...gonna drop to 16 this season...

also consider CTS/CT6 spares rims...lol...18 in and correct bolt pattern...cheaper alternative..front tire would be http://www.mandhtires.com/M-H-Front-...8#.WqFZkOdG3IU
that way don't have to worry about pullin any ABS fuse 'cause the system freaks out when F/R tire height is off too much...good luck OP!

Just now saw this reply. Pulled the trigger on some 18" MTs front and rear, got some racestar fronts from a member on here, and getting another set of factory reproduction style 41 18x11 for the rear
