Wagon wheels on your Z..

I'm 99.9% sure that they will fit on the rear. The plan is to run DR's on them. Anyone done this?

My buddy let me try his BFG drag radials before I bought a set and they where on his stock rear wagon wheels. I had no problems running them.

Couple guys in the Corvette Challenge I run in use the front wagon wheels (17's) with DRs. Fit with no problems (unless you have upgraded to HUGE rear discs).

Thanks. The BFG's seem to be the most popular drag radial. From what I've read they don't handle well at speed and wear very quickly. They should be fine for a weakend warrior car though

What makes the MT better than the rest? Not doubting you, just asking a question.

Hi Siriusvette -

They'll fit just fine.

They are smaller (width) than the stock Z06 rims.

best regards -
