Default C7 drag pack wheels & tires

I have a 2014 stingray with 600 rwhp. I am looking for the best preforming tire and wheel combo for the 1/4 mile/
I tried mickeys on 18' wheels and blew them away
I then tried 305 555 nittos on 20" wheels and tore up my wheel housings cause they were too big 28.5" tall.

I also want skinnies for the front.
I ho[e to get them in black

I wouild like the tires to fit inside the wheel housing.

and last I want light wheels to reduce the unsprung weight.

contact ben at weapon x.

btw, you won't find a better street legal drag radial than a mickey thompson. what pressure did you run? a drag radial is not a regular street tire so if you run them at 30+ psi you are doing it wrong. you run them at 15-20 psi and do a good burnout and you will hook....i've used them to hook a heck of a lot more than 600 whp.

I was just informed that M/T has introduced a street R tire that might do the job. thanks

Did you see the thread, where the ProCharged Red C7 is getting a Weld big and little drag wheel package!

Id send him a PM, and see what the ETA is on Weld being done with the rear wheels.

Already fit a 15x10 on the back of ours. New drag spindles are in the prototype stage now and should be ready for production very soon. Looking for release end of this month or early January.

Drop spindles are coming too!

i've herd that base model C7's can run 17" rears, but it has yet to be seen without a conversion kit. For the most part the smallest we can go is 18" rears.

You can run 17"s front and rear on C7's. I run 17"s from Forgeline and they fit fine on my Z07, CCB equipped 2015 C7. No conversion required.
