You can run a set of 305/45R18 MT or Nittos, or possibly a set of MH 275/45R18. I have not personally run that size MH on these size rims but they might fit.

Thanks for the reply John, Where is the best place to purchase a pair?

Pro Stock John · 06-06-2015, 03:55 PM

Ones like mine in black, one place to get them would be:

Telephone: 561-445-7606
Deerfield Beach, FL

Bob is a sponsor on here I just saw.

I've seen polished ones on eBay for pretty cheap, a buddy got some for like $120 each.

Will a 18/9.5 35mm offset, 5-120 bolt pattern work? Shop said they were a direct fit...I'm not 100%...so I thought I'd ask the pros! They weigh 21lbs also.

Pro Stock John · 06-08-2015, 09:01 PM

They might stick out a bit. Does someone actually make that size, never seen that offset before.

BEaSSy · 06-09-2015, 07:49 AM

A brief story on how I got here first...I ordered some corvette repos about a week 1/2 ago and my order got canceled cause the ones I ordered were back ordered with no ETA....the thing that bugged me is that I had to email them to find out what was going on and they just canceled the ordered on me...well that got me looking again and I found these at Tire Rack (with online chat help)...they are as close as I can find (looks) to my blacked out stockers....I may just PM you (PSJ) and order RS's....just have to convince myself to dedicate that much to a drag set up!

I'm worried that something like the ones below will not be as durable for the track...I know I know...I need to stop being a tight azz and just order the RS's!

PS...My MT's DR's have been here for 2 weeks now and are getting very lonely!

The thing about being the first guy to try a different rim is that they might not fit (cap'n obvious).

camaronick92 · 06-21-2015, 10:57 PM

I have a pair of 18 inch c6 rims i just got what size tires do i have to run so i do not throw and abs and brake light codes

Pro Stock John · 06-22-2015, 11:49 AM

Well the 305/45R18 tires are 28.8, and they don't flash a code.

I think if you go 27.5 you might get a code.

hayt51 · 07-01-2015, 08:47 AM

I've had these for a little while thought I would post. They are 18x7 front and 18 x10 back . Have to thank PSJ . He is a huge help on the forum .

fldrummer · 07-01-2015, 09:33 AM

^Nice! I plan on running 17" or 18" Weld RT-Ss, like those (still undecided on size) with 325-width M&H Racemasters in the rear. However, a 10" rim sounds a bit skinny for that wide of a tire. Anyone running these on 10.5" or 11" RT-S wheels? I also don't DD my car anymore and plan on leaving these on permanently, so I figured 18" would be a better compromise between street and track. Opinions?

*edit* 'Forgot to mention, I plan on either 17x9 or 18x9 up front. Any tire recommendations for these? Thanks.

Pro Stock John · 07-01-2015, 11:56 AM

10" rim can handle the 325 width M&H tires, but you could certainly price out 17x11" Welds.

Tim Martin also ran 17x8 Welds up front.

I've been DD'ing 17x7 RSI Dark Stars up front for two seasons. Running 215/65R17 z-rated radial.

Pro Stock John · 07-01-2015, 12:14 PM

Made some edits to the sticky. I still need to add the Toyo drag radials, I need to look up their sizes first.
