Default What would be a good rim drag set up for a C7?

I just picked up a 2015 Corvette Z51 new. I'm loving the car like no other! Just want to know if any rims out yet or could try an older set of Z06 rims to put on to run a tire. I just traded in my 13 ZL1 for her and have a C6Z front rims with tires I used and tried it on her and looked ugly as hell and didn't fit the way I wanted. Wondering if I could use a C5Z back rims and a tire? I only want to use OEM rims and not garbage remakes. Lol Thanks

Your tires are looking very TALL in the pic. Tried the same wheels on mine and the id of the wheel on the back side was too close for comfort for me. I used the same tire from the rims that was used on my 09 Z51 265x40x18 MT Drags mounted on TSW 18X9's. Works for me.

Tire on them rims are 305/45/18. Worked perfect on my Z. Figured to try on my Vette. Tire too big and rubbed. But the rim also sticks out and not flush. Guess I'll put these rims up for sale and look at some TSW rims like you have.

The taller tires should hurt your ET, the size I have are the same height as OEM. Each wheel and tire weight is about 11 LBS less.
