Does anyone have pics of a C5 with Hoosier 28.0'' x 14.50'' - 16''LT
on it ?

How did they fit and what was needed to make them fit ?

I have the CCW drag pack they will be put on.

(I posted this in tech without a great deal of response)

Thanks....

not sure if a 16 inch rim will fit over the brakes.....

16's do fit, but need a lttle clearance work on the ball joint. A few taps with a hammer works well... the 28" tall tire fits well, but would think that width might be an issue.

I run them under L-5 flared fenders on 16X11.50 CCW classics with a 7.25" backspace.

That's a serious sneaker...

It seems to work... wondering if the 15" version would do even better.

Your car was looking (and sounding) awesome yesterday, really enjoyed seeing it

The ET streets 26" x 11.5 x 16" on my CCW's are not working.

So, I figure with almost 600 rwhp N/A and 6 speed a bigger tire will help.

I just need info on C5's with 28" x 14.5" x 16" tires.

What is needed to runs these on my CCW's and need pics and info ?

Thanks

Thanks Dave... Right back at ya with the compliments. Your car is really gorgeous and very impressive on the track... It was a real pleasure to watch your passes...!!! i

I wonder if you NEED to go with bigger tires or not...? Im in a similar situatiion only with a little bit more power. I use a six speed with 28 x 11.5 on the ccw 16". I would like to eventually get more sidewall With 15" rim, but seem to ok with these for now. I just ran a 9.65 @148 with 1.4x 60' NA....The next time we are racing we plan to spray it and would be expecting 1.3x 60' on that same tire. Robz ran 9.33 on a little 255 tire with a stick NA... maybe u just need some Robz or Gary coaching... they are two best gear rowers I've ever seen......!.Gary was a machine yesterday... Anyhow, have you ever read any Ranger right ups about launching with a manual trans? If not do a search for Ranger, robz and gary2004zo6. You prob wont regret it...

When I purchased the Z06 a few years back Brett (PRAY) stated it was a hard return once it was burning rubber. This is a N/A motor with almost 600 rwhp. Turbo amd Procharged cars need to think again !! He was correct !!!

I read ALL on launching a 6 speed.
I'm looking for a large tire (16"rim) that will work. And a simple way to
make it work.

Here are some options:

M&H 26x12x16 slick.-- May need flare an offset wheel and or mini tub--ideally 11+" rim

MT 28"x16" slick stiff sidewall--adjusted ball joint, inner fender, ride height

Hoosier 28"x16 QTP--adjusted ball joint, inner fender, and ride height

All will fit on a ccw rim in 10 inches but may not be ideal. Not familiar with a 14.5" width tire but all the other ones will work for you.

In order to get what you want you will need to take the time and make the proper adjustments.
