Traction Issue
I am having A big Traction Issue when launching the car at the track the car is an 08 vette with an A6 and the Z51. I am looking into getting some drag radials but I wanted to try out my friends rims and tires but the issue is this . The rims are 17" Zr1 rims with nittos 315 on them will they fit on my car? and will I have a problem with the rims not having sensors?

As for the sensors, you'll probably see a "Tire Sensor" message on your dash but it won't put the car into limp mode. The only time that will happen is if the car does see all 4 sensors but shows low pressure in at least one of them (as would happen if you had a problem with a runflat).

Depending on your power level and track prep, you may still get spin even with drag radials. As long as you're not getting hop thought you shouldn't break anything.
