Default Drag Slick Setup

Hello!

I'm having a hell of a time finding a drag setup for my Stingray. I've never purchased a set of wheels or slicks so I'm pretty much in the dark regarding what I need. I was looking into Weld Wheels as well as Mickey Thompson or Hoosier slicks, but I'm having a terrible time finding information regarding fitment. Bolt pattern, offset, wheel width vs tire width, radial vs bias ply, the list goes on and on. There's so much information I'm lacking that I don't even know where to begin or know what will and will not fit my car. If any of you have an existing setup I could take a look at or any information you gave give me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank You!

(Not sure if it matters but current wheel setup is stock 20in rear, 19in front)

I have a set of TSW wheels Silver with Mirror Cut Face 18x5 50mm offset front 17lbs and 18x10.5 65mm offset rear 20lbs, the front where narrowed by Eric Vaughn Machine. They fit pretty good. There for sale if interested. $1000. shipped. Here's a link of how they look. This isn't my car but they look the same on my car. Check out post #50 by DOCZ.

Just call weld wheels, are which ever wheel CO that you see that you like the look of the rim and tell them what car you have they will fix you up 100%. That way you are not buying something that someone may know what they are talking about are may not know .

Just look at a Drag set up for the car due to being a less weight rim.
