Default Question about Drag Radials

Looking to get a set of drag radials.....what do you guys/girls recommend? Need to be 18" for the rears....They will either be going on 18x9.5 or 18x10.5 (haven't bought them yet)...

Thanks,
Jamey

Get the BFG's. I bought the 330's but I have 11 in Z06 rims. They look and hook great.

Will 330's not scrub my rear break ducts? Those z06 brake screens on the side are functional, not the cheap stick ons........

Gave you the wrong size. The correct size is P315/30R-18. No they do not scrub the wheel well but they are close. These are bigger than the stock Z06 tires. Look great.

Is this for the street or at the track only? I assume the street due to the 18" size requirement as 17s would be much better at the track. For the street I would use Nitto only, in the 305/35/18 or 305/45/18. BFGs and M/Ts are not good in the rain and only last about 1/3 as many miles.
