Default 345's ...

of 18x12 03 Z06 wheels to run 345's on.

Seems no one is making anymore . Any options available ?

Try CCW. They can custom built their three piece wheels for any desired backspacing, plus the wheels are a lot lighter than GM's.

Take a look at my two threads on my LPE Minitub installation.

I took a set of factory wheels and had Weldcraft widen them to 12"

I have a set of 345 Drag Radials on them.

I would not try this on reproduction wheels they are not up to the additional stress.

Some 335/30/18 Toyo RA1 would be great for the street. Very sticky tire.
