Drag - Wheel/Tire Combo Questions
I will be purchasing a pair (2) of 18x9.5 (front) C6 Z06 wheels, as I know that they will fit on the rear of the Camaro. I have a few questions regarding the best possible setup I can run for drag racing. Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
I want to run a big slick, but realize that no companies (that I've seen) make a tire in an 18" size. So this leaves me with drag radials...Mickey Thompson makes an ET Street Radial II that comes in 305/45R18 and 305/35R18. Will I have any problem mounting either of these sizes on the C6 Z06 rims? Although I know the wheels will fit, will I have any trouble with tires rubbing with this setup? Will I run into any problems running a drastically smaller diameter setup thatn stock? I'm just trying to get a couple of drag rims/tires on this car the least expensive way possible. Any advice is much appreciated. I know there are people on here who are much more experienced than I. Thanks, Jon

I will have a complete turn key package on my car hopefully next week. I'll post pics. Think Skinnies up front & 28" hoosier slicks out back!
It will clear the SS brakes!! |
