Default 18" Drag Slicks

Any suggestions for drag slick/drag radials that will fit on the STOCK REAR Z06 wheels.
I currently have a set of NITTO's on 17" rims but would like to go to 18" if possible.

Hey,

For what it is worth... I run Trans am 16" wheels with Mickey thompson ET street tires.

You can buy the 16"wheels at SLP for $50 each. They are take off wheels.

Then get 26X10.5X16 ET street tires Aprox 150 each.

run them with no tubes.

You have to shave down the knuckle on the rear suspension, and shave the inside of the wheel.

If you are up for it, the setup works great.

If you want some pics send me your email.
