Need drag racing wheels.
Anyone know of any wheels for sell that would fit these tires? P295/50R16 I don't want a flashy wheel just simple, cheap, gets the job done. Any input would be appreciated, also do you guys think 50 height is tall enough or should i go for a taller tire?

No, you won't find any 16" drag wheels that will fit your Camaro that are "simple and cheap". And in order to install ANY 16" wheel at all, you must have the V-6 brake system installed on the rear. Do you have that? If so, then about your only option is either Bogart or CCW, but be prepared to drop some cash!

If you're just looking for some cheap wheels to go drag racing with and put some drag radials on them, just get some 18x9.5 (+40mm) corvette replica wheels (I believe it is the C5 Z06 style that fits). Add some 305/45R18 drag radials and you're all set.

Tested Equal to MT DRs
Either Hot Rod or Super Chevy did a real world test comparison of the NT05Rs vs the Micky Thompson Drs and they found them to be about equal with the fastest times going to the NT05s. You can get NT05Rs in 20 inch that will fit your stock wheels. There are several threads on the fitment.

EDIT: Just visited Nitto's website, they have no tire size that fits our wheel. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love not to have to buy wheels. Last edited by 2011 SS; 03-19-2012 at 01:24 AM. |

You're right, the other guy is wrong. Nitto only makes the 05R in a 315 and it will not fit on the stock rim safely. They do make the 555R in both 275 and 305 widths that would fit a stock wheel. You're best bet is to get a set of 18" C6 Z06 rims but make sure they are OEM and not aftermarket. They must have a +40 offset or they will rub on the inner fender. If you are using them just for the track I strongly recommend you get the Mickey Thompsons and not the Nittos.
