Need help choosing new wheels and tires.
Ive searched but can't find what Im looking for. I need suggestions on what size wheels and tires would be best for my plans with the car. The car in question is a C5 Z06. Previous owner put 19/20" motorsport replicas on her, They look great but I'm thinking I need much more room for tire though. A few details on future mods that may factor into wheel/tire selection.
Boost (750-850rwhp)
Mini Tub
Daily Driver
Occasional drag strip (drag pack suggestions also welcome)
Possible road course, but unlikely.
Not opposed to flared rear fenders in conjunction with the mini tub if needed.
Im assuming I need as much tire as I can squeeze under her for best traction with 750-850rwhp. I really want to get it right the first time, buy once cry once. So I'm ready to spend some decent coin within reason on the right wheel/tire combo. What would the best wheel and tire sizes be with my plans in mind?

many people who run mini tubs use a 335/30-18 rear tire size. There are many choices including street legal race tires in that size as far as wheels go there are a ton of options and "style" preferences play a large roll in choices so, look around at companies like HRE, CCW, I Forged, OZ Racing, etc.
