What kind of DR's are most people putting on the stock wheels? What do you do with the fronts? Just leave them a different tire and drive around like that or do people generally buy a different set of rear wheels and mount up the DR's when they need them?

I ran BFG 315drs on the rear C5Z rims just fine for quite a few years. They don't last as long as the Nitto 555drs but they were more grippy which I needed for my application.

If you go with the Nitto 555DRs in a 305 they'll last between 8-10K if you don't do burnouts constantly. The BFGs lasted about 5K for me with a few trips down the strip.

Nitto Extreems on the front and Nitto Drags on the back and they hook even with a 100 shot of the juice.
