Tires and wheels
Hello.
I want to test my Lt1 vette 383 stroker on the track 1/4. But with street tires, not so fun.
Witch 15" or 16" wheels fits the vette? And what tires? Dot approved.
Greetings Andreas from Sweden

I have orginal 9.5" x 17" But i want to have smaller wheels, so I can have 15" tires.
But of course I can get 2 17" wheels more and have slicks on them.
No one who drives with 15 or 16" on a 92- vette?

You may want to post this in the drag racing forum. I believe you can run 15x10's if you grind the calipers for clearance. I have a set of 16x8 stock camaro wheels that fit fine with no modification. Hope this helps.

If you don't want to run 2 different rims during every day driving you should go with some Nitto Drag Radials. These tires are about the stickiest DRs you can buy.

Can you send photos of your 315 nittos on your wheels? Are they 11 wide wheels?

Trust me you don't want the ET Streets on your car for the street they are ugly.
I will try to get some pics of the 86 later.
